NAME

cftime − language specific strings

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). 

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

• 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.
