Description
Summary
GNU date honours strftime flags and widths on %N (nanoseconds). uutils ignores or mishandles them: %_3N should space-pad to width 3, and %-N should still emit the full 9-digit default, but uutils emits a single 0.
Found by a fuzz_date run.
Reproduction
$ LC_ALL=C TZ=UTC /usr/bin/date -d '@0' '+%_3N' | od -c | head -1
0000000 0 \n
$ LC_ALL=C TZ=UTC target/debug/coreutils date -d '@0' '+%_3N' | od -c | head -1
0000000 0 \n
$ LC_ALL=C TZ=UTC /usr/bin/date -d '@0' '+%-N'
000000000
$ LC_ALL=C TZ=UTC target/debug/coreutils date -d '@0' '+%-N'
0
