\fBclock format \fIclockValue\fR ?\fB\-format \fIstring\fR? ?\fB\-gmt \fIboolean\fR?
Converts an integer time value, typically returned by
\fBclock seconds\fR, \fBclock scan\fR, or the \fBatime\fR, \fBmtime\fR,
or \fBctime\fR options of the \fBfile\fR command, to human-readable
\fBclock seconds\fR, \fBclock scan\fR, or the \fBatime\fR or \fBmtime\fR
options of the \fBfile\fR command, to human-readable
form. If the \fB\-format\fR argument is present the next argument is a
string that describes how the date and time are to be formatted.
Field descriptors consist of a \fB%\fR followed by a field
descriptor character. All other characters are copied into the result.
Valid field descriptors are:
