Description

The GMTDATEFMT resource specifies the date format for the $GMTDATE$ resource variable (i.e. The system GMT date). The format is a string containing zero or more conversion specifications and regular characters. A conversion specification consists of the '%' character followed a character that determines the type of conversion.

The following lists the possible conversion specifications:

NOTE

If your Perl installation contains the POSIX module, the strftime() function will be used. Therefore, there may be more conversion specifications available. See your system's strftime() manpage for specifics.
