- %C and %y can be used in conjunction properly, though %y can have its old behaviour if used without %C - %I formats hous 0..11 with 0 representing "12"; this is correct both with and without am/pm (%p rule fixed to compensate) - %j fixed for range [0..365] in struct tm - %m fixed for range [0..11] in struct tm - %S fixed for range [0..61] in struct tm

.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm strptime
|
|
.Nd converts a character string to a time value
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <time.h>
|
|
.Ft char *
|
|
.Fn strptime "const char *buf" "const char *format" "struct tm *tm"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
function converts the character string pointed to by
|
|
.Fa buf
|
|
to values which are stored in the ``tm'' structure pointed to by
|
|
.Fa tm ,
|
|
using the format specified 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 `%'
|
|
followed by one or two conversion characters which specify the replacement
|
|
required. There must be white-space or other non-alphanumeric characters
|
|
between any two conversion specifications.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The LC_TIME category defines the locale values for the conversion
|
|
specifications. The following conversion specifications are supported:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "xxxx"
|
|
.It Cm \&%a
|
|
the day of week, using the locale's weekday names;
|
|
either the abbreviated or full name may be specified.

the same as
|
|
.Cm \&%a .

|
|
the month, using the locale's month names;
|
|
either the abbreviated or full name may be specified.

|
.It Cm \&%B
|
|
the same as

|
|
.It Cm \&%c
|

the date and time, using the locale's date and time format.
|
|
.It Cm \&%C
|
|
the century number [0,99];

leading zeros are permitted but not required. This conversion
|
|
should be used in conjunction with the \&%y conversion.

leading zeros are permitted but not required.

|
|
the same as
|
|
.Cm \&%I .
|
|
.It Cm \&%m
|
|
the month number [1,12];
|
|
leading zeros are permitted but not required.
|

|
leading zeros are permitted but not required.
|
|
All days in a year preceding the first Sunday are considered to be in week 0.
|
|
.It Cm \&%w
|
|
the weekday as a decimal number [0,6], with 0 representing Sunday;
|
|
leading zeros are permitted but not required.
|
|

|
|
.It Cm \&%%
|
|
A `%' is written. No argument is converted.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss Modified conversion specifications
|
|
For compatibility, certain conversion specifications can be modified
|
|
by the
|
|
.Cm E
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm O
|
|
modifier characters to indicate that an alternative format or specification
|
|
should be used rather than the one normally used by the unmodified
|
|
conversion specification. As there are currently neither alternative formats
|
|
nor specifications supported by the system, the behavior will be as if the
|
|
unmodified conversion specification were used.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If successful, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
function returns a pointer to the character following the last character
|
|
parsed. Otherwise, a null pointer is returned.
