Which other platforms are we talking about here? https://www.perforce.com/downloads/helix From there, you can get Solaris10, HP-UX, AIX and various flavours of BSD. Solaris supports "date +%s".The question about "date +%s" portability arose with a suggestion to employ it in git-filter-branch[1]. Apparently, the concern about Solaris was raised in response to a Stack Overflow question[2] which claimed that +%s was not supported by that OS. Unfortunately, however, [2] did not indicate to which (older?) versions of Solaris that shortcoming applied. If Solaris 10 does support +%s, and the Perforce product is only available for Solaris 10, then perhaps concern about +%s a non-issue(?).

Rereading the man page more carefully, you're right, Solaris 10 doesn't do "%s". Using python to get the seconds should work though.
