Time zone ID

z z CDT Time zone name

Z Z -0500 Zone offset

When the zone offset is zero, it outputs '+0000' or '+00:00'
depending on whether you use Z, ZZ, or ZZZ.

ZZ -0500

ZZZ -05:00

ZZZZ GMT-05:00

O O GMT-5 Localized zone offset

X XXX -05:00 Zone offset

Unlike the symbol 'Z, it prints Z for the zone offset Zero.
X outputs only the hour such as '+09'; XX outputs the
hour and minute, without a colon such as '+0830'; XXX
outputs the hour and minute with a colon such as '+08:30';
XXXX outputs the hour, minute, and optional second,
without a colon such as '+083045'; and, XXXXX outputs
the hour, minute, and option second, with a colon such as
'+08:30:45.

x xx -0500 Same as X, except that it prints '+00' for the zone offset

zero, not 'Z.

p pppmm ' 30'

(Single quotes
have been shown to
display the padding
with a space.)

Pad next
It pads the output of the pattern following it with spaces.
For example, if mm outputs 30, pppmm will output
' 30' and ppppmm will output ' 30. The number of p
determines the width of the output.
