strftime(4)                      UNIX System V                      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>/LCTIME.  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

      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.
