       The following command line options are available.

       -n, --newline
           By  default, output is written to stdout followed by a "newline" (ASCII character 0x0a). If option -n
           is used, this newline character is omitted.

       -z, --zero
           Pads numeric day and numeric month with a leading zero. Default is to have variable width.

       -s, --shorten
           Shortens the name of the month to a english three character abbreviation.  Default  is  full  english
           name. This option is silently ignored when combined with -d.

       -d, --digits
           Use digits for month. Default is to use a english name.

       -f, --field-sepstr
           Field separator string between the day month year tripple. Default is a single space character.

       -o, --orderspec
           Specifies  order  of  the  day  month year elements within the tripple. Each element represented as a
           single character out of ``"d"'', ``"m"'' and ``"y"''. The default for spec is ``"dmy"''.
