Normally you don't need to know. You use strptime(3) to print the
date and/or time. For example, strptime("%c", ...). The manual
page will give you the detail.
To get the format string, do:
locale -k d_fmt
d_fmt="%d/%m/%y"
(en_GB)
A list of keywords is found in locale(5).
(I don't know how to get this from within a program using a C
library interface. Does anyone else have any ideas?)
