24 ;;; Commentary:
26 ;; A template in a file can be updated with a new time stamp when
27 ;; you save the file. For example:
28 ;; static char *ts = "sdmain.c Time-stamp: <1996-08-13 10:20:51 gildea>";
29 ;; See the top of `time-stamp.el' for another example.
31 ;; To use time-stamping, add this line to your .emacs file:
32 ;; (add-hook 'write-file-hooks 'time-stamp)
33 ;; Now any time-stamp templates in your files will be updated automatically.
35 ;; See the documentation for the functions `time-stamp'
36 ;; and `time-stamp-toggle-active' for details.

71 The value may be a string or a list. Lists are supported only for
72 backward compatibility; see variable `time-stamp-old-format-warn'.
74 A string is used verbatim except for character sequences beginning with %:
76 %:a weekday name: `Monday'. %#A gives uppercase: `MONDAY'
77 %3a abbreviated weekday: `Mon'. %3A gives uppercase: `MON'
78 %:b month name: `January'. %#B gives uppercase: `JANUARY'
79 %3b abbreviated month: `Jan'. %3B gives uppercase: `JAN'
80 %02d day of month
81 %02H 24-hour clock hour
82 %02I 12-hour clock hour
83 %02m month number
84 %02M minute
85 %#p `am' or `pm'. %P gives uppercase: `AM' or `PM'
86 %02S seconds
87 %w day number of week, Sunday is 0
88 %02y 2-digit year: `97' %:y 4-digit year: `1997'
89 %z time zone name: `est'. %Z gives uppercase: `EST'
91 Non-date items:
92 %% a literal percent character: `%'
93 %f file name without directory %F gives absolute pathname
94 %s system name
95 %u user's login name
96 %h mail host name
98 Decimal digits between the % and the type character specify the
99 field width. Strings are truncated on the right; years on the left.
100 A leading zero causes numbers to be zero-filled.
102 For example, to get the format used by the `date' command,
103 use \"%3a %3b %2d %02H:%02M:%02S %Z %:y\".
105 In the future these formats will be aligned more with format-time-string.
106 Because of this transition, the default padding for numeric formats will
107 change in a future version. Therefore either a padding width should be
108 specified, or the : modifier should be used to explicitly request the
109 historical default."
