On FreeBSD that option does seem to be supported: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?date
Right on the page you linked... %c is replaced by national representation of time and date.
Yes, that's why I linked it. I am not sure if it's supported on the other BSDs and/or MacOSX though, that is what I was trying to say. If all BSDs use the same version of date(1) then I assume adding this option is probably fine.
%c is specified by POSIX
I was hoping for the man page to mention that this formatting option is POSIX but I didn't.
If it's POSIX then this change should be ok. The formatting of the date command will change for a lot of users but I assume that should be fine.
Looks like %c is specified in POSIX.1-2008 [1]: %c Locale's appropriate date and time representation. [1] http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/date.html
