why the f?

function modification_date(filename,format)
     local attr = lfs.attributes(filename)
     if type(attr) == "table" and attr.mode ~= "directory" then
         if format == "nice" then
             return os.date("%Y-%m-%dT%X",attr.modification) .. 
os.timezone(true)
         elseif format == "long" then
             return os.date("%d %B %Y %H:%M",attr.modification)
         else
             return os.date("%d %B %Y",attr.modification)
         end
     end
     return "<unset>"
end


print(modification_date("oeps.lua","nice"))
print(modification_date("oeps.lua","long"))
