-@defun format-time-string format-string time
-This function converts @var{time} to a string according to
-@var{format-string}. The argument @var{format-string} may contain
-@samp{%}-sequences which say to substitute parts of the time. Here is a
-table of what the @samp{%}-sequences mean:
+@defun format-time-string format-string &optional time universal
+This function converts @var{time} (or the current time, if @var{time} is
+omitted) to a string according to @var{format-string}. The argument
+@var{format-string} may contain @samp{%}-sequences which say to
+substitute parts of the time. Here is a table of what the
+@samp{%}-sequences mean:
@table @samp
@item %a
@samp{%03S} means to pad this with zeros to 3 positions, @samp{%_3S} to
pad with spaces to 3 positions. Plain @samp{%3S} pads with zeros,
because that is how @samp{%S} normally pads to two positions.
+
+The characters @samp{E} and @samp{O} act as modifiers when used between
+@samp{%} and one of the letters in the table above. @samp{E} specifies
+using the locale's ``alternative'' version of a format, as specified by
+POSIX. @samp{E} is allowed in @samp{%Ec}, @samp{%EC}, @samp{%Ex},
+@samp{%EX}, @samp{%Ey}, and @samp{%EY}.
+
+@samp{O} means to use the current locale's number symbols to format each
+number, instead of the ordinary @sc{ascii} digits. It is allowed with
+most letters.
+
+If @var{universal} is non-@code{nil}, that means to describe the time as
+Universal Time; @code{nil} means describe it using what Emacs believes
+is the local time zone (see @code{current-time-zone}).
