Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: util-linux
Ubuntu 8.04; Ubuntu 9.10; Fedora 12; CentOS 5.3; ArchLinux, etc
I think that hwclock ignores locales and prints time in its own format.
Compare output from hwclock and date:
$ date; hwclock
Sun Dec 20 13:59:53 CET 2009
Sun 20 Dec 2009 01:59:54 PM CET -0.469439 seconds
>From my point of view, correct output should be similar from both
commands, like this:
$ date; hwclock
Sun Dec 20 13:59:53 CET 2009
Sun Dec 20 13:59:53 CET 2009 -0.469439 seconds
One more example, I set TZ in this case:
$ export TZ=UTC
$ date; hwclock
Sun Dec 20 13:02:12 UTC 2009
Sun 20 Dec 2009 01:02:13 PM UTC -0.406637 seconds
Why "PM" is printed in hwclock output and why output is in 12h format and not
in 24h format?
I am in CZ, my timezone is set to Europe/Prague, we use 24h time format here.

hwclock prints time in wrong format (is locale ignored?)
