strftime(3C) strftime(3C)

The range of values for %S ([0,61]) extends to 61 to allow for the occasional one or two leap seconds.

However, the system does not accumulate leap seconds and the

tm structure generated by the functions

localtime() and gmtime() (see ctime(3C)) never reﬂects any leap seconds.

Results are undeﬁned if values contained in the structure pointed to by timeptr exceed the ranges deﬁned

for the

tm structure (see ctime(3C)) or are not consistent (such as if the

tm_yday element is set to 0,

indicating the ﬁrst day of January, while the

tm_mon element is set to 11, indicating a day in December).
