NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     strftime -	language-specific strings

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     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<b>>/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.
