NAME
       holidays - accounting information used to distinguish 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.
