3. Limitations

Mdate does not support any dates beyond the beginning of the current epoch (longcount 0.0.0.0.0) matching with the Julian Day Number correlation, including Gregorian dates. However, you can have fun with correlations, for example:

$ mdate -c 0 -j 0

Gregorian Date    : 24-November--4713 (24/11/-4713)
Julian Day Number : 0.0
Long Count        : 00.00.00.00.00
Tzolkin Date      : 4 Ahau
Haab Date         : 8 Cumku

However, the Mayan date above is meaningless :)
