It's really great that people are shainrg this information.
 
 
Excerpt from the [http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man3/strftime.3.html strftime man page] (please note that not all format specifiers work on all platforms; meaning some do not work on for example Windows):
 
 
 
Ordinary characters placed in the format string are copied to the output without conversion. Conversion specifications are introduced by a '%' character, and terminated by a conversion specifier character, and are replaced in s as follows:
 
 
 
{| border=1 width=100%
 
|%a
 
|The abbreviated weekday name according to the current locale.
 
|-
 
|%A
 
|The full weekday name according to the current locale.
 
|-
 
|%b
 
|The abbreviated month name according to the current locale.

|-
 
|%D
