NEWSTRFTIME(3) Library Functions Manual NEWSTRFTIME(3)
NAME
strftime - format date and time
SYNOPSIS
#include <time.h>
size_t strftime(char *restrict buf, size_t maxsize,
char const *restrict format, struct tm const *restrict timeptr);
cc ... -ltz
DESCRIPTION
The strftime function formats the information from timeptr into the
array pointed to by buf according to the string pointed to by format.
The format string consists of zero or more conversion specifications
and ordinary characters. All ordinary characters are copied directly
into the array. A conversion specification consists of a percent sign
and one other character.
No more than maxsize bytes are placed into the array.
Each conversion specification is replaced by the characters as follows
which are then copied into the array.
%A is replaced by the locale's full weekday name.
%a is replaced by the locale's abbreviated weekday name.
%B is replaced by the locale's full month name.
%b or %h
is replaced by the locale's abbreviated month name.
%C is replaced by the century (a year divided by 100 and truncated
to an integer) as a decimal number [00,99].
%c is replaced by the locale's appropriate date and time
representation.
%D is equivalent to %m/%d/%y.
%d is replaced by the day of the month as a decimal number [01,31].
%e is replaced by the day of month as a decimal number [1,31];
single digits are preceded by a blank.
%F is equivalent to %Y-%m-%d (the ISO 8601 date format).
%G is replaced by the ISO 8601 year with century as a decimal
number. See also the %V conversion specification.
%g is replaced by the ISO 8601 year without century as a decimal
number [00,99]. This is the year that includes the greater part
of the week. (Monday as the first day of a week). See also the
%V conversion specification.
%H is replaced by the hour (24-hour clock) as a decimal number
[00,23].
%I is replaced by the hour (12-hour clock) as a decimal number
[01,12].
%j is replaced by the day of the year as a decimal number
[001,366].
%k is replaced by the hour (24-hour clock) as a decimal number
[0,23]; single digits are preceded by a blank.
%l is replaced by the hour (12-hour clock) as a decimal number
[1,12]; single digits are preceded by a blank.
%M is replaced by the minute as a decimal number [00,59].
%m is replaced by the month as a decimal number [01,12].
%n is replaced by a newline.
%p is replaced by the locale's equivalent of either "AM" or "PM".
%R is replaced by the time in the format %H:%M.
%r is replaced by the locale's representation of 12-hour clock time
using AM/PM notation.
%S is replaced by the second as a decimal number [00,60]. The
range of seconds is [00,60] instead of [00,59] to allow for the
periodic occurrence of leap seconds.
%s is replaced by the number of seconds since the Epoch (see
ctime(3)).
%T is replaced by the time in the format %H:%M:%S.
%t is replaced by a tab.
%U is replaced by the week number of the year (Sunday as the first
day of the week) as a decimal number [00,53].
%u is replaced by the weekday (Monday as the first day of the week)
as a decimal number [1,7].
%V is replaced by the week number of the year (Monday as the first
day of the week) as a decimal number [01,53]. If the week
containing January 1 has four or more days in the new year, then
it is week 1; otherwise it is week 53 of the previous year, and
the next week is week 1. The year is given by the %G conversion
specification.
%W is replaced by the week number of the year (Monday as the first
day of the week) as a decimal number [00,53].
%w is replaced by the weekday (Sunday as the first day of the week)
as a decimal number [0,6].
%X is replaced by the locale's appropriate time representation.
%x is replaced by the locale's appropriate date representation.
%Y is replaced by the year with century as a decimal number.
%y is replaced by the year without century as a decimal number
[00,99].
%Z is replaced by the time zone abbreviation, or by the empty
string if this is not determinable.
%z is replaced by the offset from the Prime Meridian in the format
+HHMM or -HHMM (ISO 8601) as appropriate, with positive values
representing locations east of Greenwich, or by the empty string
if this is not determinable. The numeric time zone abbreviation
-0000 is used when the time is Universal Time but local time is
indeterminate; by convention this is used for locations while
uninhabited, and corresponds to a zero offset when the time zone
abbreviation begins with "-".
%% is replaced by a single %.
%+ is replaced by the locale's date and time in date(1) format.
RETURN VALUE
If the conversion is successful, strftime returns the number of bytes
placed into the array, not counting the terminating NUL; errno is
unchanged if the returned value is zero. Otherwise, errno is set to
indicate the error, zero is returned, and the array contents are
unspecified.
ERRORS
This function fails if:
[ERANGE]
The total number of resulting bytes, including the terminating
NUL character, is more than maxsize.
This function may fail if:
[EOVERFLOW]
The format includes an %s conversion and the number of seconds
since the Epoch cannot be represented in a time_t.

BUGS
There is no conversion specification for the phase of the moon.
