DESCRIPTION
This module provides routines to format dates. They correspond to the
libc routines. &strftime() supports a pretty good set of coversions --
more than most C libraries.
strftime supports a pretty good set of conversions.
The POSIX module has very similar functionality. You should consider
using it instead if you do not have allergic reactions to system
libraries.
