162 %b locale's abbreviated month name (e.g., Jan)\n\
163 %B locale's full month name (e.g., January)\n\
164 %c locale's date and time (e.g., Thu Mar 3 23:05:25 2005)\n\
167 %C century; like %Y, except omit last two digits (e.g., 20)\n\
168 %d day of month (e.g, 01)\n\
169 %D date; same as %m/%d/%y\n\
170 %e day of month, space padded; same as %_d\n\
173 %F full date; same as %Y-%m-%d\n\
174 %g last two digits of year of ISO week number (see %G)\n\
175 %G year of ISO week number (see %V); normally useful only with %V\n\
181 %j day of year (001..366)\n\
187 %M minute (00..59)\n\
191 %N nanoseconds (000000000..999999999)\n\
192 %p locale's equivalent of either AM or PM; blank if not known\n\
193 %P like %p, but lower case\n\
194 %r locale's 12-hour clock time (e.g., 11:11:04 PM)\n\
195 %R 24-hour hour and minute; same as %H:%M\n\
196 %s seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC\n\
199 %S second (00..60)\n\
201 %T time; same as %H:%M:%S\n\
202 %u day of week (1..7); 1 is Monday\n\
205 %U week number of year, with Sunday as first day of week (00..53)\n\
206 %V ISO week number, with Monday as first day of week (01..53)\n\
207 %w day of week (0..6); 0 is Sunday\n\
208 %W week number of year, with Monday as first day of week (00..53)\n\
211 %x locale's date representation (e.g., 12/31/99)\n\
212 %X locale's time representation (e.g., 23:13:48)\n\
213 %y last two digits of year (00..99)\n\
217 %z +hhmm numeric timezone (e.g., -0400)\n\
218 %:z +hh:mm numeric timezone (e.g., -04:00)\n\
219 %::z +hh:mm:ss numeric time zone (e.g., -04:00:00)\n\
220 %:::z numeric time zone with : to necessary precision (e.g., -04, +05:30)\n\
221 %Z alphabetic time zone abbreviation (e.g., EDT)\n\
223 By default, date pads numeric fields with zeroes.\n\
226 The following optional flags may follow `%':\n\
228 - (hyphen) do not pad the field\n\
229 _ (underscore) pad with spaces\n\
230 0 (zero) pad with zeros\n\
231 ^ use upper case if possible\n\
232 # use opposite case if possible\n\
236 After any flags comes an optional field width, as a decimal number;\n\
237 then an optional modifier, which is either\n\
238 E to use the locale's alternate representations if available, or\n\
239 O to use the locale's alternate numeric symbols if available.\n\
