Except that I just tested, and nl_langinfo(_DATE_FMT) for both Cygwin and Linux is %a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y so something else weird is going on. Oh duh, it's locales! nl_langinfo() is locale-specific, and you are (probably) running in a default locale of en_US rather than the C locale. $ date Wed, Aug 31, 2016 9:39:55 AM $ LC_ALL=C Wed Aug 31 09:43:42 CDT 2016 So, the answer to your question is determined by what your locale thinks is the appropriate representation; and I have no control over whether Windows' locale defaults will match glibc's locale defaults for en_US or any other locale outside of C. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
