OS/2 (CMD.EXE)
TIME [hh-mm-ss] [/N]
Note: /N means no prompt for TIME.

TIME [/T | time]
When this command is called from the command line or a batch script, it will display the time and wait for the user to type a new time and press RETURN. Pressing RETURN without entering a new time will keep the current system time. The parameter '/T' will bypass asking the user to reset the time. The '/T' parameter is supported in Windows Vista and later and only if Command Extensions are enabled.[4]

/T: (display only)
hh: The hour (0–23).
mm: The minute (0–59).
ss: The second (0–59), set to 0 if omitted.
