stat(1) isn't honouring locale. The manual page says: -t timefmt Display timestamps using the specified format. This format is passed directly to strftime(3). strftime(3) says: %+ is replaced by national representation of the date and time (the format is similar to that produced by date(1)). However: ----------------------------- % date Fri Oct 29 00:14:12 BST 2021 % date +%+ Fri Oct 29 00:14:19 BST 2021 % stat -t%+ -f '%Sm' . Fri Oct 29 00:13:38 BST 2021 ----------------------------- % setenv LANG en_GB.UTF-8 % date Fri 29 Oct 2021 00:14:57 BST % date +%+ Fri 29 Oct 2021 00:15:05 BST % stat -t%+ -f '%Sm' . Fri Oct 29 00:13:38 BST 2021 ----------------------------- Including <locale.h> and adding: (void) setlocale(LC_TIME, ""); before the call to strftime() in usr.bin/stat/stat.c fixes this Is there any reason this isn't in place?
