64 bit systems, years roughly -2^31 through 2^31 can be represented in
time_t without any trouble. 32 bit time_t systems only range from
roughly 1902 through 2038. As a consequence, none of the date munging
code for all the various calendar tweaks before then is present. There
are other problems including the fact that there was no 'year zero' and
so on. So rather than get excited about trying to figure out when the
calendar jumped by two weeks etc, simply disallow negative (ie: prior to
1900) years.
This happens to have an important side effect. If you bzero a 'struct
tm', it corresponds to 'Jan 0, 1900, 00:00 GMT'. This happens to be
representable (after canonification) in 64 bit time_t space. Zero tm
structs are generally an error and mktime normally returns -1 for them.
Interestingly, it tries to canonify the 'jan 0' to 'dec 31, 1899', ie:
year -1. This conveniently trips the negative year test above, which
means we can trivially detect the null 'tm' struct.
This actually tripped up code at work. :-/ (Don't ask)
was rejected as a range error, while any values less than LONG_MIN
were silently substituted with LONG_MIN. Furthermore, on some
platforms `time_t' has less range than `long' (e.g. alpha), which may
give incorrect results when parsing some strings.
strange things might happen when garbage values in the struct
get passed in to localtime_r() and family.

for the %s specifier and as a side effect of using the
the %Z specifier with a GMT time zone.

when trying to store the year in a signed int. The maximum time_t on ia64
is around 292 billion years in the future, but 'int' and struct tm.tm_year
can only represent then ext 2.1 billion years or so.
This solves the problem of mktime/localtime looping on ia64. Unfortunately,
the standards say that tm_year is an 'int', so we are still stuck with a
y2147483647 bug. bash2's configure script looks for bugs in mktime() and
fails on ia64 because of this. However, mktime() on FreeBSD fails the test
normally anyway so this is no big loss.
This change does not affect any other platforms besides ia64.

than 32 bits. It was trying to figure out things like the day of week
of when time_t is roughly 2^62 etc. Make a better guess for the starting
point for the binary search that works on both 32 and 64 bit types. I have
been using this for a while now.
strftime(3) for IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 compliance and remove
excessive usage of the 'const' qualifier that was neither
present in the prototype in the publice header, nor in the
local prototype just above the function definition.
- Replace the K&R function definition with a ANSI-C one.
- Update the prototype of strftime(3) in its manual page.
Since they were never documented and have never appeared in a FreeBSD
release, no repo-copy of the header is done. This removes namespace
pollution from <time.h>.
time_to_xxx() and xxx_to_time() functions. e.g. _time_to_xxx()

stopgap functions & placemarkers and not meant to create a defacto
standard. They will eventually be replaced when a real standard
comes out of committee.
serve two purposes: (1) so we can maintain backwards compatibility with
protocols (rwhod, dump, etc...) that either assume time_t is 32 bits or
assume sizeof(time_t) == sizeof(int), or make other similar assumptions.
(2) To tag such routines (by the presence of these calls) for future
cleanup/extension work.
The 32->64 routine, time32_to_time() (when time_t is 64 bits, that is),
is defined specifically to implement temporal locality to properly set the
msb bits of a 64 bit time_t quantity, using the 50 year rule. The locality
code has not been implemented yet (and doesn't need to be for a while),
but that is the intent. This will allow us to maintain backwards protocol
compatibility past 2038.
These routines are intended to be platform and time_t agnostic.

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.
