  CFTIME(4)                                               CFTIME(4)



  NAME
       cftime - language specific strings for converting times and
       dates to ASCII

  DESCRIPTION
       The programmer can create one printable file per language.
       These files must be kept in a special directory /lib/cftime.
       If this directory does not exist, the programmer should
       create it.  The contents of these files are:

       ⊕ abbreviated month names ( in order )

       ⊕ month names ( in order )

       ⊕ abbreviated weekday names ( in order )

       ⊕ weekday names ( in order )

       ⊕ default strings that specify formats for local time (%x) and
                 local date (%X).

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

       ⊕ AM (ante meridian) string

       ⊕ 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 the strings appear in the file shown
       below.
