| Request a file that has been modified later than the given time and date, or |
| one that has been modified before that time. The <date expression> can be all |
| sorts of date strings or if it does not match any internal ones, it is taken as |
| a filename and tries to get the modification date (mtime) from <file> |
| instead. See the *curl_getdate(3)* man pages for date expression details. |
| |
| Start the date expression with a dash (-) to make it request for a document |
| that is older than the given date/time, default is a document that is newer |
| than the specified date/time. |
| |
| If provided a non-existing file, curl outputs a warning about that fact and |
| proceeds to do the transfer without a time condition. |
