Hello, Could you add a note to strftime(3) stating that to take advantage of locale specific names you need to call setlocale(3) first? It seems silly when you know it, but wasn't aware that the C locale was automatically selected on startup (I expected it to be automatically lazy-loaded, based on the environment vars). Alternatively, the example could be changed to need a setlocale call, like strftime(3P) does, so it can at least point in the right direction. The man page is not wrong on itself, but I don't think that it is to be expected before you know it that the "current locale" would be something different than the locale that the user has been seeing all along its session (or maybe i'm more noob than most programmers :). Thanks for your documentation work. It's really useful!
