The codes are from Acorn, part of RISC OS (so you'd find them
documented there as well). Other systems have their own - similarly
opaque.
For reference, IIRC the RISC OS/clib format string used is:
%0 ASCII zero value
%DY Date (08)
%ST st, th or nd by date
%MN Month as number (04)
%MO Month as long entry (April)
%M3 Month as 3 letters (Apr)
%WK Week of year
%DN Day within year (098)
%WN Week day as number (7 = Saturday)
%W3 Week day as 3 letters (Sat)
%WE Week day as long (Saturday)
%CE Century as 2 digits (19)
%YR Year as 2 digits (95)
%24 Hour as 24 hour (15)
%12 Hour as 12 hour (03)
%AM am or pm
%PM am or pm
%MI Minute as 2 digits (25)
%SE Second as 2 digits (50)
%CS Centisecond as 2 digits (87)
%TZ Time zone (BST/DST/+01:00, etc)
%% A % symbol
All numbers may be preceded by Z to suppress leading zeros.
