t_fmt The operand is a string defining the appropriate time representation.
am_pm The operand is two semicolon-separated strings giving the representations for
AM and PM.
t_fmt_ampm The operand is a string defining the appropriate time representation in the
12-hour clock format with am_pm.
era The operand is a semi-colon-separated list of strings. Each string defines the
name and date of an era or emperor for a locale. Each string should conform to
the following format:
direction : offset : start_date : end_date : name : format
where:
direction Either a + or - character. The
+ character indicates the
time axis should be such that the years count in the positive
direction when moving from the starting date towards the
ending date. The
- character indicates the time axis
should be such that the years count in the negative direc-
tion when moving from the starting date towards the ending
date.
offset A number in the range
[SHRT_MIN,SHRT_MAX]
indicat-
ing the number of the first year of the era.
start_date A date in the form yyyy
/mm/dd where yyyy, mm, and dd
are the year, month and day numbers, respectively, of the
start of the era. Years prior to the year 0
A.D. are
represented as negative numbers. For example, an era
beginning March 5th in the year 100 B.C. would be
represented as 3-100/3/5. Years in the range
[SHRT_MIN+1,SHRT_MAX-1]
are supported.
end_date The ending date of the era in the same form as the
start_date above or one of the two special values
-* or +*.
A value of -* indicates the ending date of the era extends
to the beginning of time while +* indicates it extends to the
end of time. The ending date can be chronologically either
before or after the starting date of an era. For example, the
expressions for the Christian eras A.D. and B.C. would be:
+:0:0000/01/01:+∗:A.D.:%o %N
+:1:-0001/12/31:-∗:B.C.:%o %N
name A string representing the name of the era which is substi-
tuted for the %N directive of date and strftime() (see
date (1) and strftime (3C)).
format A string for formatting the
%E directive of date(1) and
strftime (3C). This string is usually a function of the %o
and %N directives. If format is not specified, the string
specified for the LC_TIME category keyword era_d_fmt
(see below) is used as a default.
era_d_fmt The operand is a string defining the format of date in era notation.
era_t_fmt The operand is a string defining the format of time in era notation.
era_d_t_fmt
The operand is a string defining the format of date and time in era notation.
alt_digits The operand is a semi-colon-separated list of strings. The first string is the
alternative symbol corresponding to zero, the second string is the alternative
symbol corresponding to one, and so on. Note that if the HP-UX-proprietary
alt_digit keyword has been specified in the same locale, the first ten sym-
bols should be identical for these two keywords.
In addition to the above, the following HP-UX-proprietary keywords are recognized (these are pro-
vided for backward compatibility and their use is otherwise not recommended):
