FQDN.
timezone +|-hh[:mm]
The system’s time zone as an offset in hours (-12 through +14) and optionally minutes (00–59)
from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). To specify a positive offset, the '+' is optional. To specify a
negative offset, the '-' is required. The hour value can have one or two digits and can omit a leading
zero. If the minutes value is specified it must have two digits. If it is omitted, the minutes value is set
to 00.
timestamp timestamp
The date and time represented as the number of seconds (not counting leap seconds) that have
elapsed since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC. The resulting time will be in UTC, unless you also specify the
timezone parameter.
