I've provide the direct quote from *C* standard in my previous message
msg231957:
> 2. What is "calendar time in POSIX encoding"? This sounds like what
time.asctime() returns.
It is the language used by C standard for time() function:
The time function determines the current calendar time. The encoding
of the value is unspecified.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ <- from the C standard
notice the word *encoding* in the quote.
