PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Cygwin
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
Cygwin manual page for details of Cygwin behavior), or the interface
may not be implemented on Cygwin.
NAME
strftime, strftime_l — convert date and time to a string
==============>8=============
Indeed Cygwin does not provide the strftime_l function, so the Cygwin pages
do matter.
