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

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.
