47 "*Format of the string inserted by \\[time-stamp].
48 The value may be a string or a list. Lists are supported only for
49 backward compatibility; see variable `time-stamp-old-format-warn'.
51 A string is used verbatim except for character sequences beginning
52 with %, as follows. The values of non-numeric formatted items depend
53 on the locale setting recorded in `system-time-locale' and
54 `locale-coding-system'. The examples here are for the default
57 %:a weekday name: `Monday'. %#A gives uppercase: `MONDAY'
58 %3a abbreviated weekday: `Mon'. %3A gives uppercase: `MON'
59 %:b month name: `January'. %#B gives uppercase: `JANUARY'
60 %3b abbreviated month: `Jan'. %3B gives uppercase: `JAN'
62 %02H 24-hour clock hour
63 %02I 12-hour clock hour
66 %#p `am' or `pm'. %P gives uppercase: `AM' or `PM'
68 %w day number of week, Sunday is 0
69 %02y 2-digit year: `97' %:y 4-digit year: `1997'
70 %z time zone name: `est'. %Z gives uppercase: `EST'
73 %% a literal percent character: `%'
74 %f file name without directory %F gives absolute pathname
76 %u user's login name %U user's full name
79 Decimal digits between the % and the type character specify the
80 field width. Strings are truncated on the right; years on the left.
81 A leading zero in the field width zero-fills a number.
83 For example, to get the format used by the `date' command,
84 use \"%3a %3b %2d %02H:%02M:%02S %Z %:y\".
86 In the future these formats will be aligned more with `format-time-string'.
87 Because of this transition, the default padding for numeric formats will
88 change in a future version. Therefore either a padding width should be
89 specified, or the : modifier should be used to explicitly request the
