|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strftime
|
|
function formats the information from
|
|
.Fa timeptr
|
|
into the buffer
|
|
.Fa buf
|
|
according to the string pointed to by
|
|
.Fa format .
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn strftime_l
|
|
does the same as
|
|
.Fn strftime
|
|
but takes an explicit locale rather than using the current locale.
|
|
.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
|
|
.Dq Ql %
|
|
and one other character.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
No more than
|
|
.Fa maxsize
|
|
characters will be placed into the array.
|
|
If the total number of resulting characters, including the terminating
|
|
NUL character, is not more than
|
|
.Fa maxsize ,
|
|
.Fn strftime
|
|
returns the number of characters in the array, not counting the
|
|
terminating NUL.
|
|
Otherwise, zero is returned and the buffer contents are indeterminate.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The conversion specifications are copied to the buffer after expansion
|
|
as follows:-
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "xxxx"
|

|
|
