The LC_TIME locale definition source file uses field descriptors to represent elements of time
and date formats. Combinations of these field descriptors create other field descriptors or create
time and date format strings. When used in format strings containing field descriptors and other
characters, field descriptors are replaced by their current values. All other characters are copied
without change. The following field descriptors are used by commands and subroutines that
query the LC_TIME category for time formatting:
%a Represents the abbreviated weekday name (for example, Sun)defined by the abday
statement.
%A Represents the full weekday name (for example, Sunday)defined by the day state-
ment.
%b Represents the abbreviated month name (for example, Jan)defined by the abmon
statement.
%B Represents the full month name (for example, January)defined by the month state-
ment.
%c Represents the date and time format defined by the d_t_fmt statement.
