---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0006714) Don Cragun (manager) - 2024-03-08 03:22 https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1819#c6714 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The format specifiers are fully specified in the description of the <i>strftime</i> function as specifid in description of <i>date</i>'s +<i>format</i> operand: <blockquote>When the format is specified, the output shall be formatted as if by <i>strftime</i>() with the specified format string...</blockquote> The removal of those specifiers from the <i>date</i> utility's description was intentional. We don't want to try keeping the <i>date</i> utility's description of those specifiers and the <i>strftime</i>() function's description of those specifiers in sync. We found in the past that keeping two copies of those descriptions led to unintended discrepancies.
