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 with %:
53 %:a weekday name: `Monday'. %#A gives uppercase: `MONDAY'
54 %3a abbreviated weekday: `Mon'. %3A gives uppercase: `MON'
55 %:b month name: `January'. %#B gives uppercase: `JANUARY'
56 %3b abbreviated month: `Jan'. %3B gives uppercase: `JAN'
58 %02H 24-hour clock hour
59 %02I 12-hour clock hour
62 %#p `am' or `pm'. %P gives uppercase: `AM' or `PM'
64 %w day number of week, Sunday is 0
65 %02y 2-digit year: `97' %:y 4-digit year: `1997'
66 %z time zone name: `est'. %Z gives uppercase: `EST'
69 %% a literal percent character: `%'
70 %f file name without directory %F gives absolute pathname
72 %u user's login name %U user's full name
75 Decimal digits between the % and the type character specify the
76 field width. Strings are truncated on the right; years on the left.
77 A leading zero in the field width zero-fills a number.
79 For example, to get the format used by the `date' command,
80 use \"%3a %3b %2d %02H:%02M:%02S %Z %:y\".
82 In the future these formats will be aligned more with `format-time-string'.
83 Because of this transition, the default padding for numeric formats will
84 change in a future version. Therefore either a padding width should be
85 specified, or the : modifier should be used to explicitly request the
