Subject: [PATCH 5/9] strftime.3: Move 822-compliant date format example to EXAMPLES section
Date: Thu,  3 Dec 2009 23:38:26 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1259905106-4887-1-git-send-email-mfwitten@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1259879998-1140-5-git-send-email-mfwitten-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>

The RFC 822-compliant date format given in the description of `%z'
is now moved to the EXAMPLE section (and EXAMPLE has been renamed
EXAMPLES).

Furthermore, that format example is now actually RFC 822-compliant
(using `%y' instead of `%Y') and has been qualified as being correct
only when in the context of at least an English locale. Also, `%T'
is used in place of `%H:%M:%S'.

For completeness, an RFC 2822-compliant format example has been
similarly added.

The formatting of the EXAMPLES section has been improved.

                   WOOPS!

Somehow I managed to produce a commit without actually
having changed `EXAMPLE' to `EXAMPLES'. This version
fixes that.
