STRFTIME

NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

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 `%' and one other character.

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.

Each conversion specification is replaced by the characters as follows which are then copied into the buffer.
