Display week day in i3 status bar [closed]

Question

I want to display the current week day (e. g. Monday) in the i3 status bar.

My current status bar has the following format:27.06.2016 18:00:00. I want to achieve a format like this: Monday, 27.06.2016 18:00:00.

The corresponding config in i3status.conf looks like this:

tztime local {
    format = "%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S"
}

I am running i3 on a Debian Linux.

Does anybody have a solution on how to display the week day in the status bar? The man page offers no solution, neither did an internet search...

Answer 1

tztime local {
    format = "%A, %d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S"
}

As for the manpage not offering a solution:

From the i3status manpage:

TzTime

Outputs the current time in the given timezone. If no timezone is given, local time will be used. See strftime(3) for details on the format string.

So looking up man 3 strftime you should find

%A The full name of the day of the week according to the current locale.
