24 ;;; Commentary:
25
26 ;; A template in a file can be updated with a new time stamp when
27 ;; you save the file. For example:
28 ;; static char *ts = "sdmain.c Time-stamp: <1996-08-13 10:20:51 gildea>";
29 ;; See the top of `time-stamp.el' for another example.
30
31 ;; To use time-stamping, add this line to your .emacs file:
32 ;; (add-hook 'write-file-hooks 'time-stamp)
33 ;; Now any time-stamp templates in your files will be updated automatically.
34
35 ;; See the documentation for the functions `time-stamp'
36 ;; and `time-stamp-toggle-active' for details.

46 "*Format of the string inserted by \\[time-stamp].
47 The value may be a string or a list. Lists are supported only for
48 backward compatibility; see variable `time-stamp-old-format-warn'.
49
50 A string is used verbatim except for character sequences beginning with %:
51
52 %:a weekday name: `Monday'. %#A gives uppercase: `MONDAY'
53 %3a abbreviated weekday: `Mon'. %3A gives uppercase: `MON'
54 %:b month name: `January'. %#B gives uppercase: `JANUARY'
55 %3b abbreviated month: `Jan'. %3B gives uppercase: `JAN'
56 %02d day of month
57 %02H 24-hour clock hour
58 %02I 12-hour clock hour
59 %02m month number
60 %02M minute
61 %#p `am' or `pm'. %P gives uppercase: `AM' or `PM'
62 %02S seconds
63 %w day number of week, Sunday is 0
64 %02y 2-digit year: `97' %:y 4-digit year: `1997'
65 %z time zone name: `est'. %Z gives uppercase: `EST'
66
67 Non-date items:
68 %% a literal percent character: `%'
69 %f file name without directory %F gives absolute pathname
70 %s system name
71 %u user's login name %U user's full name
72 %h mail host name
73
74 Decimal digits between the % and the type character specify the
75 field width. Strings are truncated on the right; years on the left.
76 A leading zero causes numbers to be zero-filled.
77
78 For example, to get the format used by the `date' command,
79 use \"%3a %3b %2d %02H:%02M:%02S %Z %:y\".
80
81 In the future these formats will be aligned more with format-time-string.
82 Because of this transition, the default padding for numeric formats will
83 change in a future version. Therefore either a padding width should be
84 specified, or the : modifier should be used to explicitly request the
85 historical default."

180
181 The fourth part is a regexp identifying the pattern following the time stamp.
