const char* mstring::MTimeStrings::locale

Locale environment which the following entries apply to. Will be compared with the beginning of the current locale setting. If left blank this set of strings applies to all locales, which means it is the default setting.
E. g. locale="de" applies to "de_DE" environments as well as "de_CH" and "de_AT", but locale="de_CH" does not apply to all "de" environments.

char* mstring::MTimeStrings::formatDate

strftime() compatible format string to generate the string representation of a date.

Important format commands are

• "%d" for day of the month (01 - 31),
• "%m" for month of the year (01 - 12),
• "%y" for a year without century (00 - 99),
• "%Y" for a year with century.

Thus the ISO 8601 date format "YYYY-MM-DD" is represented by the format string "%Y-%m-%d".

char* mstring::MTimeStrings::formatTime

strftime() compatible format string to generate the string representation of a time of day.

Important format commands are

• "%H" for hours (00 - 23),
• "%I" for hours (01 - 12),
• "%p" for AM/PM,
• "%M" for minutes (00 - 59),
• "%S" for seconds.

Thus the ISO 8601 time format "HH:MM:SS" is represented by the format string "%H:%M:%S".
