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)

          and
          5. default strings that specify formats for locale time (%X)
                    locale date (%x).

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

          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.
