Subject: test: do not use nanoseconds width specifier in date command
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=da18a5cfd659daff94b44894a1713f77d64b3fcb;p=thirdparty%2Fsystemd.git

test: do not use nanoseconds width specifier in date command

Using the format specifier +%s%6N with GNU date is honored, and only
prints 6 digits of the nanoseconds portion of the seconds since epoch.
The uutils implementation of date does not honor this, and always prints
all 9 digits. This is a known bug[1], but can be worked around by
adapting this test to use nanoseconds instead of microseconds.
