#
# Here, I am sharing a list of Directive and their meanings.
# ============================================
# Directive = Meanings + Starting From Here +
# ============================================
#
# %a = Locale’s abbreviated weekday name.
# %A = Locale’s full weekday name.
# %b = Locale’s abbreviated month name.
# %B = Locale’s full month name.
# %c = Locale’s appropriate date and time representation.
# %d = Day of the month as a decimal number [01,31].
# %H = Hour (24-hour clock) as a decimal number [00,23].
# %I = Hour (12-hour clock) as a decimal number [01,12].
# %j = Day of the year as a decimal number [001,366].
# %m = Month as a decimal number [01,12].
# %M = Minute as a decimal number [00,59].
# %p = Locale’s equivalent of either AM or PM.
# %S = Second as a decimal number [00,61].
# %U = Week number of the year (Sunday as the first day of the week) as
# a decimal number [00,53]. All days in a new year preceding
# the first Sunday are considered to be in week 0.
# %w = Weekday as a decimal number [0(Sunday),6].
# %W = Week number of the year (Monday as the first day of the week)
# as a decimal number [00,53]. All days in a new year
# preceding the first Monday are considered to be in week 0.
# %x = Locale’s appropriate date representation.
# %X = Locale’s appropriate time representation.
# %y = Year without century as a decimal number [00,99].
# %Y = Year with century as a decimal number.
# %Z = Time zone name (no characters if no time zone exists).
# %% = A literal '%' character.
