+dav date
+========
+
+**`date [url]`**
+
+The purpose of this command is to get the current date from a server and print it on stdout (http date format). This in useful in combination with the `-U` option for the `list` and `get` command.
+
+The *url* can be any http url. If no *url* is specified, the local time is used.
+
+### Example: incremental dav get
+
+It is possible to download only resources, which are modified since a specified date. The *date* command allows you to easily store the date of the last *get*.
+
+	$ dav get -R myserv/col/
+	...
+	$ dav date myserv > last_get
+	
+After some resources are changed on the server, you can download only the modified files.
+
+	$ dav get -R -U `cat last_get` myserv/col/
+
