Mine has
%(datefmt)T
causes printf to output the date-time string resulting
from using datefmt as a format string for strftime(3).
The corresponding argument is an integer representing the
number of seconds since the epoch. Two special argument
values may be used: -1 represents the current time, and
-2 represents the time the shell was invoked. If no ar‐
gument is specified, conversion behaves as if -1 had been
given. This is an exception to the usual printf behav‐
ior.
Do you have that?
