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