172 %%s seconds since 00:00:00, Jan 1, 1970 (a GNU extension)\n\
173 %%S second (00..60)\n\
174 %%t a horizontal tab\n\
175 %%T time, 24-hour (hh:mm:ss)\n\
176 %%U week number of year with Sunday as first day of week (00..53)\n\
177 %%V week number of year with Monday as first day of week (01..53)\n\
