              The same effect can also be achieved by setting a linked -textvariable.

              A command prefix to evaluate when a date was selected.  The command  prefix  is  executed  in  the
              global  namespace and given two arguments, the raw date in seconds, and the formatted date, as per
              option -dateformat.

       -dateformat
              The format of the date that is entered or returned. Default: %m/%d/%Y.

              Specifies the name of a variable whose value is linked to the entry widget's  contents.   Whenever
              the variable changes value, the widget's contents are updated, and vice versa.
