.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm strptime
|
|
.Nd converts a character string to a time value
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In time.h
|
|
.Ft char *
|
|
.Fn strptime "const char * restrict buf" "const char * restrict format" "struct tm * restrict tm"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strptime
|
|
function converts the character string pointed to by
|
|
.Fa buf
|
|
to values which are stored in the
|
|
.Va 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, whitespace
|
|
characters as defined by
|
|
.Fn isspace ,
|
|
and ordinary characters.
|
|
All ordinary characters in
|
|
.Fa format
|
|
are compared directly against the corresponding characters in
|
|
.Fa buf ;
|
|
comparisons which fail will cause
|
|
.Fn strptime
|
|
to fail.
|
|
Whitespace characters in
|
|
.Fa format
|
|
match any number of whitespace characters in
|
|
.Fa buf ,
|
|
including none.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A conversion specification consists of a percent sign
|
|
.Ql %
|
|
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
|
|
Conversion of alphanumeric strings (such as month and weekday names) is
|
|
done without regard to case.
|
|
Conversion specifications which cannot be matched will cause
|
|
.Fn strptime
|
|
to fail.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The LC_TIME category defines the locale values for the conversion
|
|
specifications.
|
|
The following conversion specifications are supported:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "xxxx"
|

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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Case is ignored when matching string items in
|
|
.Fa buf ,
|
|
such as month and weekday names.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If successful, the
|
|
.Fn strptime
|
|
function returns a pointer to the character following the last character
|
|
parsed.
|
|
Otherwise, a
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
pointer is returned.

|
.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strptime
|
|
function conforms to
|
|
.St -xpg4 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.Cm \&%Z
|
|
format specifier only accepts timezone
|
|
abbreviations of the local timezone,
|
|
or the value
|
|
.Dq GMT .
|
|
This limitation is caused by the ambiguity
|
|
of overloaded timezone abbreviations,
|
|
for example EST is both Eastern Standard
|
|
Time and Eastern Australia Summer Time.
