This appendix describes the format strings used for dates and times in the server log. These formats are used by the NSAPI function util_strftime, by some built-in SAFs such as append-trailer, and by server-parsed HTML (parse-html). For more information about server-parsed HTML, see Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 1 NSAPI Developer’s Guide.
The formats are similar to those used by the strftime C library routine, but not identical. For more information on the NSAPI function, util_strftime, see util_strftime Function in Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 1 NSAPI Developer’s Guide.
The following table describes the format strings for dates and times.
