Time specifiers
The following conversion specifications are available for the --write-out
option's %time{} feature:
| flag | outputs |
|---|---|
%a | The abbreviated name of the day of the week according to the current locale. |
%A | The full name of the day of the week according to the current locale. |
%b | The abbreviated month name according to the current locale. |
%B | The full month name according to the current locale. |
%c | The preferred date and time representation for the current locale. (In the POSIX locale this is equivalent to %a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Y.) |
%C | The century number (year/100) as a 2-digit integer. |
%d | The day of the month as a decimal number (range 01 to 31). |
%D | Equivalent to %m/%d/%y. (This format is ambiguous and should be avoided.) |
%e | Like %d, the day of the month as a decimal number, but a leading zero is replaced by a space. |
%f | The number of microseconds elapsed of the current second. (This is a curl special code and not a standard one.) |
%F | Equivalent to %Y-%m-%d (the ISO 8601 date format). |
%G | The ISO 8601 week-based year with century as a decimal number. The 4-digit year corresponding to the ISO week number (see %V). This has the same format and value as %Y, except that if the ISO week number belongs to the previous or next year, that year is used instead. |
%g | Like %G, but without century, that is, with a 2-digit year (00-99). |
%h | Equivalent to %b. |
%H | The hour as a decimal number using a 24-hour clock (range 00 to 23). |
%I | The hour as a decimal number using a 12-hour clock (range 01 to 12). |
%j | The day of the year as a decimal number (range 001 to 366). |
%k | The hour (24-hour clock) as a decimal number (range 0 to 23); single digits are preceded by a blank. |
%l | The hour (12-hour clock) as a decimal number (range 1 to 12); single digits are preceded by a blank. |
%m | The month as a decimal number (range 01 to 12). |
%M | The minute as a decimal number (range 00 to 59). |
%p | Either "AM" or "PM" according to the given time value, or the corresponding strings for the current locale. Noon is treated as "PM" and midnight as "AM". |
%P | Like %p but in lowercase: "am" or "pm" or a corresponding string for the current locale. |
%r | The time in am or pm notation. |
%R | The time in 24-hour notation (%H:%M). For a version including the seconds, see %T below. |
%s | The number of seconds since the Epoch, 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 (UTC). |
%S | The second as a decimal number (range 00 to 60). (The range is up to 60 to allow for occasional leap seconds.) See %f for microseconds. |
%T | The time in 24-hour notation (%H:%M:%S). |
%u | The day of the week as a decimal, range 1 to 7, Monday being 1. |
%U | The week number of the current year as a decimal number, range 00 to 53, starting with the first Sunday as the first day of week 01. See also %V and %W. |
%V | The ISO 8601 week number (see NOTES) of the current year as a decimal number, range 01 to 53, where week 1 is the first week that has at least 4 days in the new year. See also %U and %W. |
%w | The day of the week as a decimal, range 0 to 6, Sunday being 0. See also %u. |
%W | The week number of the current year as a decimal number, range 00 to 53, starting with the first Monday as the first day of week 01. |
%x | The preferred date representation for the current locale without the time. |
%X | The preferred time representation for the current locale without the date. |
%y | The year as a decimal number without a century (range 00 to 99). |
%Y | The year as a decimal number including the century. |
%z | The +hhmm or -hhmm numeric timezone (that is, the hour and minute offset from UTC). As time is always UTC, this outputs +0000. |
%Z | The timezone name. As time is always UTC, this outputs the UTC timezone name, typically GMT. |
%% | A literal % character. |
