120 %%D date (mm/dd/yy)\n\
121 %%e day of month, blank padded ( 1..31)\n\

128 %%m month (01..12)\n\
129 %%M minute (00..59)\n\
131 %%p locale's AM or PM\n\
132 %%r time, 12-hour (hh:mm:ss [AP]M)\n\
133 %%s seconds since 00:00:00, Jan 1, 1970 (a GNU extension)\n\
134 %%S second (00..61)\n\
135 %%t a horizontal tab\n\
136 %%T time, 24-hour (hh:mm:ss)\n\
137 %%U week number of year with Sunday as first day of week (00..53)\n\
138 %%V week number of year with Monday as first day of week (01..52)\n\
139 %%w day of week (0..6); 0 represents Sunday\n\
140 %%W week number of year with Monday as first day of week (00..53)\n\
141 %%x locale's date representation (mm/dd/yy)\n\
142 %%X locale's time representation (%%H:%%M:%%S)\n\
143 %%y last two digits of year (00..99)\n\
