DateInfo automatically calculates and displays date and time calculations relative to a selected date using the Command Line.

DateInfo is a powerful Command Line utility designed to perform versatile date and time calculations within Windows shell scripts. Its capabilities extend to tracking execution duration and generating variables based on date and time in custom formats.

In cases where no argument is provided, DateInfo automatically takes the current date as its parameter and performs all calculations relative to the present date and time of execution. The results are promptly displayed in the console window, facilitating real-time feedback.

This efficient application supports various date-related operations, enabling users to determine the number of days between two dates, find the date corresponding to a user-defined number of days in the past or future, and convert a specified number of days into an approximate count of years, months, and days.

Moreover, DateInfo facilitates the calculation of duration between two times or dates/times, allowing for conversion into a range of units of time tailored to specific needs. Additionally, the utility provides functionality to check for leap years, compare a supplied date with the current date, and customize the formatting of both date and time outputs, making it highly versatile and adaptable to diverse script requirements.

For those seeking guidance, the application offers an extended help option triggered by running the "-h" command. This option provides a comprehensive array of syntax examples and detailed explanations for all available commands.
