Name
strftime
Synopsis
strftime([format[,timestamp]]){G}
Format timestamp according to
format. Return the formatted string. The
timestamp is a time-of-day value in seconds
since Midnight, January 1, 1970, UTC. The
format string is similar to that of sprintf, in that it is a mixture of
literal text and format specifiers. If
timestamp is omitted, it defaults to the
current time. If format is omitted, it
defaults to a value that produces output similar to that of the
Unix date command. See the
date entry in Chapter 2 for a list.
