quite likely it is to skip the 'day of week' field -- the ctime
manpage says
The ctime() function adjusts the time value for the current time zone in
the same manner as localtime(), and returns a pointer to a 26-character
string of the form:
Thu Nov 24 18:22:48 1986\n\0
All the fields have constant width.
so it makes sense
cheers
