question on strftime

I have some questions about the standard routine strftime().  Among the
conversions listed are:

	%c  replaced by the locale's appropriate date and time representation
	%x  replaced by the locale's appropriate date representation
	%X  replaced by the locale's appropriate time representation

What is meant by appropriate?  If, for example, I wanted to implement strftime
for the typical U.S. Unix type of locale, and it's 1:54 pm on Januay 23 1991,
what do the above conversions return?

Please reply by mail; I'm not always caught up with this newsgroup.

Thanks!
