Well, from here the one after next is the 2nd, and the one before last
is the -2nd.
Regardless, the code and documentation should match, and it seems

You know where the source code is, Ralph. Have at it.

Hi,
Is -42nd handled? IIRC we demand C99 so we know rounding is towards
zero. But C's remainder operator, ‘%’, returns the sign of the
dividend, unlike modulo. And then there's two's complement so INT_MIN
can't be made positive.

Now where would be the fun in that. :-)

Geez, you could have just SAID that (ok, fine, you DID say that, but ...
oh, never mind). I missed that part in your examples.
Anyway, fixed!

Ken, Ralph is being overly subtle (or perhaps I could use another word...)
The point is, that if you're going to add this, you should do it
correctly, not just any random code that looks close.

I mean ... yeah? Steal from the best, and all that! I had a few free
minutes, I thought, "Oh, huh, nmh SHOULD have a function to output
the ordinal string for dates and such", and I though it should be
pretty easy and it was.

Impressively quick work.

+ const char *suffix;

Yes, strftime() has no ordinals, and (as best I understand it) locales
don't either.
Hi kre,

I had a need today to have date(1) produce ‘8th’ for today and find its
interpreted sequences don't support the
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinal_indicator, but then neither does
POSIX's LC_TIME, it
14 matches
