Arguments

x

a POSIXct, POSIXlt, Date, chron, yearmon, yearqtr, zoo, zooreg, timeDate, xts, its, ti, jul, timeSeries, or fts object.

label

logical. Only available for wday. TRUE will display the day of the week as an ordered factor of character strings, such as "Sunday." FALSE will display the day of the week as a number.

abbr

logical. Only available for wday. FALSE will display the day of the week as an ordered factor of character strings, such as "Sunday." TRUE will display an abbreviated version of the label, such as "Sun". abbr is disregarded if label = FALSE.

week_start

day on which week starts following ISO conventions - 1 means Monday, 7 means Sunday (default). When label = TRUE, this will be the first level of the returned factor. You can set lubridate.week.start option to control this parameter globally.
