This time in ctime.3 man page.. I realise this is in 'contrib' but there doesn't seem to be any info regarding who this is pulled from. I hope I don't get the reputation for most anal contributor :-( (Is a PR the best way to report something so insignificant? Seems like overkill... Gimme doc commit access!) Anyway....
