OS : os.date
Arguments
os.date( [format, [time]] )
- format (optional, string)
a string which specifies the formatting applied to the time.
- time (optional, table)
Returns
Returns a string or a table containing date and time, formatted according to the given string format.
Remarks
If the time argument is present, this is the time to be formatted (see the os.time function for a description of this value). Otherwise, date formats the current time.
If format starts with !, then the date is formatted in Coordinated Universal Time.
After that optional character, if format is *t, then date returns a table with the following fields: year (four digits), month (1, day (1, hour (0, min (0, sec (0, wday (weekday, Sunday is 1), yday (day of the year), and isdst (daylight saving .ag, a boolean).
If format is not *t, then date returns the date as a string, formatted according with the same rules as the C function strftime (see below). When called without arguments, date returns a reasonable date and time representation that depends on the host system and on the current locale (that is, os.date() is equivalent to os.date("%c")).
Valid formatting codes are preceded by a percent sign (%). Characters that do not begin with % are left unchanged. The formatting strings are specified below:
- %a
Abbreviated weekday name.
- %A
Full weekday name.
- %b
Abbreviated month name.
- %B
Full month name.

Date and time representation appropriate for locale.
