DateTim...ale::sid(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

DateTime::Locale::sid β€” locale data examples for the Sidamo (sid) locale πŸ¦‹

okay so quick orientation bestie: this is a perl manpage, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, page 3 β€” so when you see sid(3) that's literally this page πŸ’… and yes the title up top got cut short, it's DateTime::Locale::sid, we're all friends here.


✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

ngl this ".pod file" is basically a lookbook β€” it's examples of the locale data available for the Sidamo locale. it's not a module with methods you call, it's a show-and-tell of how dates and times come out looking in sid πŸŽ€ so come vibe with me and let's flip through it.

so in sid the wide and abbreviated days are the same three letters, and narrow is just the first letter β€” and the stand-alone versions match the format versions exactly, slay for consistency honestly 🌈

bestie the months are giving placeholder-font energy 😭 wide and abbreviated are both M01–M12, and narrow strips it down to plain 1–12. stand-alone is identical to format across the board, no notes πŸ’€

πŸ’– Date Formats

Full

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 2008 M02 5, Tue

-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = -10-09-15

notice how Long and Medium are lowkey twins πŸ‘€ same output and everything. Full adds the weekday, Short goes full ISO-ish with 2008-02-05. and yes that negative year -10 is real, don't come for me πŸ’€

⏰ Time Formats

-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 04:44

Full and Long are identical again (both slapping UTC on the end), Medium drops the zone, Short drops the seconds. that progression is so satisfying honestly 🫢

date + time glued together, and the vibes track the individual sections exactly: Full keeps the weekday and UTC, Long keeps UTC but loses the weekday, Medium loses UTC, Short is the tiny compact one. iconic lineup πŸ‘‘

🌟 Miscellaneous

Prefers 24 hour time?

Yes

Local first day of the week

1 (Mon)

so yeah, sid is a 24-hour-time girlie ⏰ and the week kicks off on day 1 (Mon) β€” Monday stans rise ✨

πŸŽ€ Strftime Patterns

%c (%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Y) - date time format

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Tue M02  5 18:30:30 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Fri M12 22 09:05:02 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Sat M09 15 04:44:23 -10

and that's the %c one β€” peep that double space in Tue M02 5, that's %e doing its space-padded thing, it's not a typo bestie, leave it be πŸ’… this strftime party is just getting started though β€” the rest of the patterns are coming up next, so don't go anywhere 🌸

...and these are the raw format specifiers themselves, okay, so buckle up 🫢

  • %x β€” it's labelled %m/%d/%y and it's literally the date format, no cap
  2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 02/05/08
  1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 12/22/95
  -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 09/15/10

like pls that third one is from the year -0010 and it still gets 10 for the year, iconic behaviour honestly πŸ’…

  • %X β€” it's labelled %H:%M:%S and it's the time format, bestie, the whole clock vibe ⏰
  2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 18:30:30
  1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 09:05:02
  -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 04:44:23

notice how 18:30:30 stays 18:30:30? that's the 24-hour life, no am/pm jumpscare, we respect it πŸŽ€
