strftime(3), add another one. :) %z yields the local timezone's offset
in hours and minutes, as used in RFC822 headers. There's a precedence
for this in Lunux' libc, and Internet software (like Perl scripts)
start using it.
OKed by (wrt. the code freeze): jkh
representation of the full month name. In the Russian locale, this alternative
will be "nominative case", useful when the date designate month as a whole.
E.g. month heading in a calendar. I hope it can be useful for some other
locales too.
Discussed with: wollman, ache
Obtained from: partial merge of ADO version tzcode96h (was fully merged
in 1.10 but backed out in 1.11; the FreeBSD code for %s
was earlier, prettier but buggier).
modify the original `no modifications' copyright message, and i've
included his mail into the source file.
The common localization functions between strptime(3) and strftime(3)
have been broken out into timelocal.[ch].
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
part that does zic(8)/zdump(8) is still yet to be imported (but the old
zic and zdump will work just fine with these header files and the
data format has not changed).
by me). This probably loses for multibyte characters, but I have no
way of telling. I'll let ache decide whether to add this support to
startup_setlocale. Note that for this to make any sense at all, the
symlinks in /usr/share/locale must go. (For the moment, this doesn't
make any difference since there are no locales supplied.)
Obtained from: Arthur David Olson <ado@elsie.nci.nih.gov>
from the code in strftime.c . This affects both the library code
and all the commands using it (e.g. date +%s).
Note that %s is not required by ANSI, but we've already got it in 1.1.5.1.
