[%CFEngine_function_prototype(mode, template, time)%]

Description: Interprets a time and date format string at a particular point in GMT or local time using Unix epoch time.

[%CFEngine_function_attributes(mode, template, time)%]

The mode is either gmtime (to get GMT times and dates) or localtime (to get times and dates according to the local timezone, usually specified by the TZ environment variable).

The conversion specifications that can appear in the format template are specialized for printing components of the date and time according to the system locale.

Example:

[%CFEngine_include_snippet(strftime.cf, #+begin_src cfengine3, .*end_src)%]

Output:

[%CFEngine_include_snippet(strftime.cf, #+begin_src\s+example_output\s*, .*end_src)%]

Notes: Note that strftime is a standard C function and you should consult its reference to be sure of the specifiers allowed.
