date conversion specifiers related to times.
hour (‘00’…‘23’)
hour (‘01’…‘12’)
hour, space padded (‘ 0’…‘23’); equivalent to ‘%_H’. This is a GNU extension.
hour, space padded (‘ 1’…‘12’); equivalent to ‘%_I’. This is a GNU extension.
minute (‘00’…‘59’)
nanoseconds (‘000000000’…‘999999999’). This is a GNU extension.
locale’s equivalent of either ‘AM’ or ‘PM’; blank in many locales. Noon is treated as ‘PM’ and midnight as ‘AM’.
like ‘%p’, except lower case. This is a GNU extension.
locale’s 12-hour clock time (e.g., ‘11:11:04 PM’)
24-hour hour and minute. Same as ‘%H:%M’.
seconds since the Epoch, i.e., since 1970-01-01 00:00 UTC. Leap seconds are not counted unless leap second support is available. See %s-examples, for examples. This is a GNU extension.
second (‘00’…‘60’). This may be ‘60’ if leap seconds are supported.
24-hour hour, minute, and second. Same as ‘%H:%M:%S’.
locale’s time representation (e.g., ‘23:13:48’)
Four-digit numeric time zone, e.g., ‘-0600’ or ‘+0530’, or
‘-0000’ if no
time zone is determinable. This value reflects the numeric time zone
appropriate for the current time, using the time zone rules specified
by the TZ environment variable. A time zone is not determinable if
its numeric offset is zero and its abbreviation begins with ‘-’.
The time (and optionally, the time zone rules) can be overridden
by the --date option.
Numeric time zone with ‘:’, e.g., ‘-06:00’ or ‘+05:30’), or ‘-00:00’ if no time zone is determinable. This is a GNU extension.
Numeric time zone to the nearest second with ‘:’ (e.g., ‘-06:00:00’ or ‘+05:30:00’), or ‘-00:00:00’ if no time zone is determinable. This is a GNU extension.
Numeric time zone with ‘:’ using the minimum necessary precision (e.g., ‘-06’, ‘+05:30’, or ‘-04:56:02’), or ‘-00’ if no time zone is determinable. This is a GNU extension.
alphabetic time zone abbreviation (e.g., ‘EDT’), or nothing if no time zone is determinable. See ‘%z’ for how it is determined.
