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).

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

     7. AM (ante meridian) string

     8. PM (post meridian) string

     Each string is on a line by itself. All white space is  sig-
     nificant.  The order of the strings in the above list is the
     same order in which they must appear in the file.
