strftime(4)                                                        strftime(4)


NAME
     strftime - language-specific strings

DESCRIPTION
     There can exist one printable file per locale to specify its date and
     time formatting information.  These files must be kept in the directory
     /usr/lib/locale/<locale>/LC_TIME.  The contents of these files are:

           1. abbreviated month names (in order)

           2. month names (in order)

           3. abbreviated weekday names (in order)

           4. abbreviated weekday names (in order)

           5. weekday names (in order)

           6. default strings that specify formats for locale time (%X) and
              locale date (%x)

           7. default strings that specify formats for locale date and time
              representation(%c)

           8. AM (ante meridian) string

           9. PM (post meridian) string

          10. default format for cftime, if the argument for cftime is zero or
              null

          11. default strings that specify format for locale   12-hour time
              representation(%r)

     Each string is on a line by itself.  All white space is significant.  The
     order of the strings in the above list is the same order in which they
     must appear in the file.
