.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In time.h
|
|

|
|
.Fn strftime "char * restrict buf" "size_t maxsize" "const char * restrict format" "const struct tm * restrict timeptr"

|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strftime
|
|
function formats the information from
|
|
.Fa timeptr
|
|
into the buffer
|
|
.Fa buf
|
|
according to the string pointed to by
|
|
.Fa format .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa format
|
|
string consists of zero or more conversion specifications and
|
|
ordinary characters.
|
|
All ordinary characters are copied directly into the buffer.
|
|
A conversion specification consists of a percent sign
|
|
.Ql %
|
|
and one other character.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
No more than
|
|
.Fa maxsize
|
|
characters will be placed into the array.
|
|
If the total number of resulting characters, including the terminating
|
|
null character, is not more than
|
|
.Fa maxsize ,
|
|
.Fn strftime
|
|
returns the number of characters in the array, not counting the
|
|
terminating null.
|
|
Otherwise, zero is returned and the contents of the array are undefined.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each conversion specification is replaced by the characters as
|
|
follows which are then copied into the buffer.
|
|

|
|
the week) as a decimal number [01,53]. According to ISO 8601 the week
|
|
containing January 1 is week 1 if it has four or more days in the new year,
|
|
otherwise it is week 53 of the previous year, and the next week is week 1.
|
|

|
|
.Ql \&%G
|
|
conversion specification.
|
|
.It Cm \&%v

|
|
.Dq Li %e-%b-%Y .

|
not determinable.

.Pp
|
|
Use of the ISO 8601 conversions may produce non-intuitive results.
|
|
Week 01 of a year is per definition the first week which has the Thursday
|
|
in this year, which is equivalent to the week which contains the fourth
|
|
day of January.
|
|
In other words, the first week of a new year is the week which has the
|
|
majority of its days in the new year.
|
|
Week 01 might also contain days from the previous year and the week
|
|
before week 01 of a year is the last week (52 or 53) of the previous
|
|
year even if it contains days from the new year.
|
|
A week starts with Monday (day 1) and ends with Sunday (day 7).
|
|
For example, the first week of the year 1997 lasts from
|
|
1996-12-30 to 1997-01-05.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
There is no conversion specification for the phase of the moon.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A return value of zero does not necessarily indicate an error.
|
|
If the resulting string is an empty string, the result value is
|
|
zero and it is not possible to distinguish between success and error.
|
|
For example, in many locales
|
|
.Cm \&%p
|
|
yields an empty string.
|
|
This problem can be avoided by inserting an extra space at the
|
|
beginning of the format string and then skipping over it or removing
|
|
it from the result.
