CVS commit: src/lib/libc/time



Module Name:    src
Committed By:   abhinav
Date:           Sat Dec 24 05:33:51 UTC 2016

Modified Files:
        src/lib/libc/time: strftime.3

Log Message:
As per C99 the range of values for the %S format specifier is [0,60]
rather than [0,61]. The standard has removed mention of double leap seconds.
The standard has give the following rationale in the time.h man page:

"The range [0,60] seconds allows for positive or negative leap seconds.
The formal definition of UTC does not permit double leap seconds, so all
mention of double leap seconds has been removed, and the range shortened
from the former [0,61] seconds seen in previous versions of POSIX."
