.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 .
|
|
.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
|
|
null character, is not more than
|
|
.Fa maxsize ,
|
|
.Fn strftime
|
|
returns the number of characters in the array, not counting the
|
|
terminating null.
|
|
Otherwise, zero is returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each conversion specification is replaced by the characters as
|
|
follows which are then copied into the buffer.
