  55 .Sh DESCRIPTION
  56 The
  57 .Fn wcsftime
  58 function is equivalent to the
  59 .Fn strftime
  60 function, except for the types of its arguments.
  61 Refer to
  62 .Xr strftime 3
  63 for a detailed description.
  64 .Pp
  65 While the
  66 .Fn wcsftime
  67 function uses the current locale, the
  68 .Fn wcsftime_l
  69 function may be passed a locale directly. See
  70 .Xr xlocale 3
  71 for more information.
  72 .Sh COMPATIBILITY
  73 Some early implementations of
  74 .Fn wcsftime
  75 had a
  76 .Fa format
  77 argument with type
  78 .Vt "const char *" ,
  79 instead of
  80 .Vt "const wchar_t *" .
  81 .Sh SEE ALSO
  82 .Xr strftime 3 ,
  83 .Xr xlocale 3
  84 .Sh STANDARDS
  85 The
  86 .Fn wcsftime
  87 function conforms to
  88 .St -isoC-99 .
