POSIX.2 describes under +.BR date (1) +several extensions that could apply to +.BR strftime () +as well. +The +.B %F +conversion is in C99 and POSIX.1-2001. +.PP +In SUSv2, the +.B %S +specifier allowed a range of 00 to 61, +to allow for the theoretical possibility of a minute that +included a double leap second +(there never has been such a minute). +.SH NOTES +.SS ISO 8601 week dates +.BR %G , +.BR %g , +and +.B %V +yield values calculated from the week-based year defined by the +ISO\ 8601 standard. +In this system, weeks start on a Monday, and are numbered from 01, +for the first week, up to 52 or 53, for the last week. +Week 1 is the first week where four or more days fall within the +new year (or, synonymously, week 01 is: +the first week of the year that contains a Thursday; +or, the week that has 4 January in it). +When three or fewer days of the first calendar week of the new year fall +within that year, +then the ISO 8601 week-based system counts those days as part of week 52 +or 53 of the preceding year. +For example, 1 January 2010 is a Friday, +meaning that just three days of that calendar week fall in 2010. +Thus, the ISO\ 8601 week-based system considers these days to be part of +week 53 +.RB ( %V ) +of the year 2009 +.RB ( %G ); +week 01 of ISO\ 8601 year 2010 starts on Monday, 4 January 2010. +Similarly, the first two days of January 2011 are considered to be part +of week 52 of the year 2010. +.SS glibc notes +glibc provides some extensions for conversion specifications. +(These extensions are not specified in POSIX.1-2001, but a few other +systems provide similar features.) +.\" HP-UX and Tru64 also have features like this. +Between the \[aq]%\[aq] character and the conversion specifier character, +an optional +.I flag +and field +.I width +may be specified. +(These precede the +.B E +or +.B O +modifiers, if present.) +.PP +The following flag characters are permitted: +.TP +.B _ +(underscore) +Pad a numeric result string with spaces. +.TP +.B \- +(dash) +Do not pad a numeric result string. +.TP +.B 0 +Pad a numeric result string with zeros even if the conversion +specifier character uses space-padding by default. +.TP +.B \[ha] +Convert alphabetic characters in result string to uppercase. +.TP +.B # +Swap the case of the result string. +(This flag works only with certain conversion specifier characters, +and of these, it is only really useful with +.BR %Z .) +.PP +An optional decimal width specifier may follow the (possibly absent) flag. +If the natural size of the field is smaller than this width, +then the result string is padded (on the left) to the specified width. +.SH BUGS +If the output string would exceed +.I max +bytes, +.I errno +is +.I not +set. +This makes it impossible to distinguish this error case from cases where the +.I format +string legitimately produces a zero-length output string. +POSIX.1-2001 +does +.I not +specify any +.I errno +settings for +.BR strftime (). +.PP +Some buggy versions of +.BR gcc (1) +complain about the use of +.BR %c : +.IR "warning: \`%c\[aq] yields only last 2 digits of year in some locales" . +Of course programmers are encouraged to use +.BR %c , +as it gives the preferred date and time representation. +One meets all kinds of strange obfuscations +to circumvent this +.BR gcc (1) +problem. +A relatively clean one is to add an +intermediate function +.PP +.in +4n +.EX +size_t +my_strftime(char *s, size_t max, const char *fmt, + const struct tm *tm) +{ + return strftime(s, max, fmt, tm);
