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