Archive-Name: strftime-6.1/part01

In Volume 27, Issue 207 our moderator writes:
...
[ this recurring package is the cleanest, nicest date(1) and strftime(3)
 i have ever seen, including all free or vendor systems.	--vix ]
To which I can only say, "gosh, thanks!".

I had written:
...
It seems to be an annual event, something in the circling of the stars
overhead, that requires me to post this, at least once a year. (:-)

...
I sincerely hope this will be it (at least 'til next year! :-)
Alas, it seems to be an annual event that shortly after posting my package,
I also post bug fixes. :-)

There are three main fixes here. 1) An update to the date.1 man page to
reflect that POSIX.2 is not in draft any more, 2) Yet another fix to
the %V code, and 3) Portability enhancements if there is no tm_zone
field in the struct tm.

Thanks to all who sent mail and helped me track down the ISO 8601 issues.

This is strftime 6.1. The package is small enough I'm just reposting the
whole thing.

This package implements the Posix 1003.2 date command, as a wrapper around
an extended version of the ANSI strftime(3) library routine.
Everything in it is public domain.

 * strftime.c

 * Public-domain implementation of ANSI C library routine.
 *
 * It's written in old-style C for maximal portability.
 * However, since I'm used to prototypes, I've included them too.
 *
 * If you want stuff in the System V ascftime routine, add the SYSV_EXT define.
 * For extensions from SunOS, add SUNOS_EXT.
 * For stuff needed to implement the P1003.2 date command, add POSIX2_DATE.
 * For VMS dates, add VMS_EXT.
 * For complete POSIX semantics, add POSIX_SEMANTICS.
 *
 * The code for %c, %x, and %X is my best guess as to what's "appropriate".
 * This version ignores LOCALE information.
 * It also doesn't worry about multi-byte characters.
 * So there.
 *
 * This file is also shipped with GAWK (GNU Awk), gawk specific bits of
 * code are included if GAWK is defined.

Hi Arnold,
in a process of fixing of strftime() in libraries on Atari ST I grabbed
some pieces of code from your own strftime.  When doing that it came
to mind that your weeknumber() function compiles a little bit nicer
in the following form:
/*
 * firstweekday is 0 if starting in Sunday, non-zero if in Monday
 */
{
    return (timeptr->tm_yday - timeptr->tm_wday +
	    (firstweekday ? (timeptr->tm_wday ? 8 : 1) : 7)) / 7;
}
How nicer it depends on a compiler, of course, but always a tiny bit.

   Cheers,
   Michal

.TH DATE 1
.SH NAME
date \- write the date and time
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B date
[
.B \-u
] [
.RI + format
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Date
writes the current date and time to the standard output.
It is intended to be compliant with the Posix
1003.2 Command Language and Utilities standard.
Therefore, it is purposely
.I not
usable by the super-user for setting the system time.
.LP
.I Date
accepts one option:
.TP
.B \-u
Perform operations as if the
.B TZ
environment variable was set to
.BR GMT0 .
.LP
If an argument to 

.I date
is given that begins with a ``+'',
then the output is controlled by the contents of the rest of
the string.  Normal text is output unmodified, while field descriptors
in the format string are substituted for.
.LP
The
.I date
program is essentially a wrapper around
.IR strftime (3);
see there for a description of the available formatting options.
.LP
If no format string is given, or if it does not begin with a ``+'',
then the default format of \fB"%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y"\fR will
be used.  This produces the traditional style of output, such as
``Sun Mar 17 10:32:47 EST 1991''.

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <time.h>
.sp
size_t strftime(char *s, size_t maxsize, const char *format,
	const struct tm *timeptr);
.SH DESCRIPTION
The following description is transcribed verbatim from the December 7, 1988
draft standard for ANSI C.
This draft is essentially identical in technical content
to the final version of the standard.
.LP
The
.B strftime
function places characters into the array pointed to by
.B s
as controlled by the string pointed to by
.BR format .
The format shall be a multibyte character sequence, beginning and ending in
its initial shift state.
The
.B format
string consists of zero or more conversion specifiers and ordinary
multibyte characters.  A conversion specifier consists of a
.B %
character followed by a character that determines the behavior of the
conversion specifier.
All ordinary multibyte characters (including the terminating null
character) are copied unchanged into the array.
If copying takes place between objects that overlap the behavior is undefined.
No more than
.B maxsize
characters are placed into the array.
Each conversion specifier is replaced by appropriate characters as described
in the following list.
The appropriate characters are determined by the
.B LC_TIME
category of the current locale and by the values contained in the
structure pointed to by
.BR timeptr .
.TP
.B %a
is replaced by the locale's abbreviated weekday name.
.TP
.B %A
is replaced by the locale's full weekday name.
.TP
.B %b
is replaced by the locale's abbreviated month name.
.TP
.B %B
is replaced by the locale's full month name.
.TP
.B %c
is replaced by the locale's appropriate date and time representation.
.TP
.B %d
is replaced by the day of the month as a decimal number
.RB ( 01 - 31 ).
.TP
.B %H
is replaced by the hour (24-hour clock) as a decimal number
.RB ( 00 - 23 ).
.TP
.B %I
is replaced by the hour (12-hour clock) as a decimal number
.RB ( 01 - 12 ).
.TP
.B %j
is replaced by the day of the year as a decimal number
.RB ( 001 - 366 ).
.TP
.B %m
is replaced by the month as a decimal number
.RB ( 01 - 12 ).
.TP
.B %M
is replaced by the minute as a decimal number
.RB ( 00 - 59 ).
.TP
.B %p
is replaced by the locale's equivalent of the AM/PM designations associated
with a 12-hour clock.
.TP
.B %S
is replaced by the second as a decimal number
.RB ( 00 - 61 ).
.TP
.B %U
is replaced by the week number of the year (the first Sunday as the first
day of week 1) as a decimal number
.RB ( 00 - 53 ).
.TP
.B %w
is replaced by the weekday as a decimal number
.RB [ "0 " (Sunday)- 6 ].
.TP
.B %W
is replaced by the week number of the year (the first Monday as the first
day of week 1) as a decimal number
.RB ( 00 - 53 ).
.TP
.B %x
is replaced by the locale's appropriate date representation.
.TP
.B %X
is replaced by the locale's appropriate time representation.
.TP
.B %y
is replaced by the year without century as a decimal number
.RB ( 00 - 99 ).
.TP
.B %Y
is replaced by the year with century as a decimal number.
.TP
.B %Z
is replaced by the time zone name or abbreviation, or by no characters if
no time zone is determinable.
.TP
.B %%
is replaced by
.BR % .
.LP
If a conversion specifier is not one of the above, the behavior is
undefined.
.SH RETURNS
If the total number of resulting characters including the terminating null
character is not more than
.BR maxsize ,
the
.B strftime
function returns the number of characters placed into the array pointed to
by
.B s
not including the terminating null character.
Otherwise, zero is returned and the contents of the array are indeterminate.
.SH NON-ANSI EXTENSIONS
If
.B SYSV_EXT
is defined when the routine is compiled, then the following additional
conversions will be available.
These are borrowed from the System V
.IR cftime (3)
and
.IR ascftime (3)
routines.
.TP
.B %D
is equivalent to specifying
.BR %m/%d/%y .
.TP
.B %e
is replaced by the day of the month,
padded with a blank if it is only one digit.
.TP
.B %h
is equivalent to
.BR %b ,
above.
.TP
.B %n
is replaced with a newline character (\s-1ASCII LF\s+1).
.TP
.B %r
is equivalent to specifying
.BR "%I:%M:%S %p" .
.TP
.B %R
is equivalent to specifying
.BR %H:%M .
.TP
.B %T
is equivalent to specifying
.BR %H:%M:%S .
.TP
.B %t
is replaced with a \s-1TAB\s+1 character.
.PP
If
.B SUNOS_EXT
is defined when the routine is compiled, then the following additional
conversions will be available.
These are borrowed from the SunOS version of
.IR strftime .
.TP
.B %k
is replaced by the hour (24-hour clock) as a decimal number
.RB ( 0 - 23 ).
Single digit numbers are padded with a blank.
.TP
.B %l
is replaced by the hour (12-hour clock) as a decimal number
.RB ( 1 - 12 ).
Single digit numbers are padded with a blank.
.SH POSIX 1003.2 EXTENSIONS
If
.B POSIX2_DATE
is defined, then all of the conversions available with
.B SYSV_EXT
and
.B SUNOS_EXT
are available, as well as the
following additional conversions:
.TP
.B %C
The century, as a number between 00 and 99.
.TP
.B %u
is replaced by the weekday as a decimal number
.RB [ "1 " (Monday)- 7 ].
.TP
.B %V
is replaced by the week number of the year (the first Monday as the first
day of week 1) as a decimal number
.RB ( 01 - 53 ).
The method for determining the week number is as specified by ISO 8601
(to wit: if the week containing January 1 has four or more days in the
new year, then it is week 1, otherwise it is the highest numbered
week of the previous year (52 or 53)
and the next week is week 1).
.LP
The text of the POSIX standard for the
.I date
utility describes
.B %U
and
.B %W
this way:
.TP
.B %U
is replaced by the week number of the year (the first Sunday as the first
day of week 1) as a decimal number
.RB ( 00 - 53 ).
All days in a new year preceding the first Sunday are considered to be
in week 0.
.TP
.B %W
is replaced by the week number of the year (the first Monday as the first
day of week 1) as a decimal number
.RB ( 00 - 53 ).
All days in a new year preceding the first Monday are considered to be
in week 0.
.LP
In addition, the alternate representations
.BR %Ec ,
.BR %EC ,
.BR %Ex ,
.BR %Ey ,
.BR %EY ,
.BR %Od ,
.BR %Oe ,
.BR %OH ,
.BR %OI ,
.BR %Om ,
.BR %OM ,
.BR %OS ,
.BR %Ou ,
.BR %OU ,
.BR %OV ,
.BR %Ow ,
.BR %OW ,
and
.B %Oy
are recognized, but their normal representations are used.
.SH VMS EXTENSIONS
If
.B VMS_EXT
is defined, then the following additional conversion is available:
.TP
.B %v
The date in VMS format (e.g. 20-JUN-1991).
.SH SEE ALSO
.IR time (2),
.IR ctime (3),
.IR localtime (3),
.IR tzset (3)
.SH BUGS
This version does not handle multibyte characters or pay attention to the
setting of the
.B LC_TIME
environment variable.
.LP
It is not clear what is ``appropriate'' for the C locale; the values
returned are a best guess on the author's part.
.SH CAVEATS
The pre-processor symbol
.B POSIX_SEMANTICS
is automatically defined, which forces the code to call
.IR tzset (3)
whenever the
.B TZ
environment variable has changed.
If this routine will be used in an application that will not be changing
.BR TZ ,
then there may be some performance improvements by not defining
.BR POSIX_SEMANTICS .
