-- `-t` or `--show-time` prepends each history entry with the date and time the entry was recorded . By default it uses the strftime format `# %c%n`. You can specify another format; e.g., `--show-time="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S "` or `--show-time="%a%I%p"`. The short option, `-t`, doesn't accept a stftime format string; it only uses the default format. Any strftime format is allowed, including `%s` to get the raw UNIX seconds since the epoch.
