Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text. Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the entire enclosed block.

.Nm strptime
|
|
.Nd parse date and time string
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY

|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <time.h>
|
|
.Ft char *
|
|
.Fn strptime "const char *buf" "const char *format" "struct tm *timeptr"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strptime
|
|
function parses the string in the buffer
|
|
.Fa buf
|
|
according to the string pointed to by
|
|
.Fa format ,
|
|
and fills in the elements of the structure pointed to by
|
|
.Fa timeptr .
|
|
The resulting values will be relative to the local time zone.
|
|
Thus, it can be considered the reverse operation of
|
|
.Xr strftime 3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa format
|
|
string consists of zero or more conversion specifications and
|
|
ordinary characters.
|
|
All ordinary characters are matched exactly with the buffer, where
|
|
white space in the format string will match any amount of white space
|
|
in the buffer.
|
|
All conversion specifications are identical to those described in
|
|
.Xr strftime 3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Two-digit year values, including formats
|
|
.Fa %y
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa \&%D ,
|
|
are now interpreted as beginning at 1969 per POSIX requirements.
|
|
Years 69-00 are interpreted in the 20th century (1969-2000), years
|
|
01-68 in the 21st century (2001-2068).
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion,
|
|
.Fn strptime
|
|
returns the pointer to the first character in
|
|
.Fa buf
|
|
that has not been required to satisfy the specified conversions in
|
|
.Fa format .
|
|
It returns
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
if one of the conversions failed.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strptime
|
|
function appeared in
|
|
.Fx 3.0 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Both the
|
|
.Fa %e
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa %l
|
|
format specifiers may incorrectly scan one too many digits
|
|
if the intended values comprise only a single digit
|
|
and that digit is followed immediately by another digit.
|
|
Both specifiers accept zero-padded values,
|
|
even though they are both defined as taking unpadded values.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa %p
|
|
format specifier has no effect unless it is parsed
|
|
.Em after
|
|
hour-related specifiers.
|
|
Specifying
|
|
.Fa %l
|
|
without
|
|
.Fa %p
|
|
will produce undefined results.
|
|
Note that 12AM
|
|
(ante meridiem)
|
|
is taken as midnight
|
|
and 12PM
|
|
(post meridiem)
|
|
is taken as noon.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa %U
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa %W
|
|
format specifiers accept any value within the range 00 to 53
|
|
without validating against other values supplied (like month
|
|
or day of the year, for example).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa %Z
|
|
format specifier only accepts time zone abbreviations of the local time zone,
|
|
or the value "GMT".
|
|
This limitation is because of ambiguity due to of the over loading of time
|
|
zone abbreviations. One such example is
|
|
.Fa EST
|
|
which is both Eastern Standard Time and Eastern Australia Summer Time.
