NAME

strftime − language specific strings

DESCRIPTION

Each locale has a printable file specifying date and time formatting information, /usr/lib/locale/locale/LC_TIME where locale is the locale name.  These files specify:

1.  abbreviated month names (in order)

2.  full month names (in order)

3.  abbreviated weekday names (in order)

4.  full weekday names (in order)

5.  string to specify local time representation (%X)

6.  string to specify local date representation (%x)

7.  string to specify local date and time (%c) for strftime() default

8.  AM (ante meridian) string

9.  PM (post meridian) string

10. string to specify local date and time (%C) for cftime() default

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.
