Bug#340172: manpages-dev: strftime(3) refers to an unknown conversion type character
tags 340172 fixed-upstream thanks Package: manpages-dev Version: 2.08-1 Severity: normal The manpage lists the following conversion character: %+ The date and time in date(1) format. (TZ) Yet, when trying to compile a simple test program that uses that, I get the following warning: warning: unknown conversion type character â+â in format James, Agreed. I read the current stftime() source code and there is no %+ specifier implemented. Some of the BSDs have it. I have removed this text. The fix will be in man-pages-2.15. Thanks for your report.

James, Just a little further to add -- I just noticed that later on in the page there was already text saying that %+ is not implemented in glibc2. I've now re-instated the original %+ text and added a repeated comment there that glibc2 does not support this specifier.
