Hi there- Long time fan, first time caller… :-) I noticed that, despite the man page’s claim, %l (that’s ell) is not implemented in strftime(). This patch should do the job. diff --git a/src/time/strftime.c b/src/time/strftime.c index cc53d536..78f12ae0 100644 --- a/src/time/strftime.c +++ b/src/time/strftime.c @@ -104,6 +104,12 @@ const char *__strftime_fmt_1(char (*s)[100], size_t *l, int f, const struct tm * val = tm->tm_yday+1; width = 3; goto number; + case 'l': + def_pad = '_'; + val = tm->tm_hour; + if (!val) val = 12; + else if (val > 12) val -= 12; + goto number; case 'm': val = tm->tm_mon+1; goto number; Keep up the great work! —Dj
