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. weekday names (in order)

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

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

         7. AM (ante meridian) string

         8. PM (post meridian) string

         9. DATE_FMT string

         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.
