     NAME
          holidays - accounting information used to distinguish
          between prime and non-prime days

     SYNOPSIS
          /usr/lib/acct/holidays

     DESCRIPTION
          The holidays file distinguishes between prime and non-prime
          time for the accounting system.  It divides weekdays into
          two pieces, and it divides the year into prime and non-prime
          days.  Weekends are always non-prime.  Additional company
          holidays can be specified as non-prime.

          Comment lines are denoted by an asterisk in column one.

          The first non-comment line contains three fields, separated
          by white space.  The first field is the four-digit current
          year.  The second field is the start of prime time,
          specified as four digits in the form hhmm (for hour and
          minute).  The third field is the start of non-prime time,
          specified in the same way.  The hours must be between 0 and
          23, inclusive, and the minutes must be between 0 and 59,
          inclusive.

          Subsequent lines define up to 20 non-prime days.  The first
          field is the day of year, where January 1 has the value 1.
          The second field is the calendar date.  The third field is
          the holiday name.
