- The C library routine getdate(3) should be put in /lib/libc.a:
- .DS
- make install
- make clean
- .DE
- The manual page getdate.3 may be put in /sys/man/man3/getdate.3.
- .PP
- News uses getdate to decipher user specified dates.
- The current implementation is rather primitive (and bulky).
- It is hoped that a future version of getdate
- (or something like it)
- will become a common date input routine
- for commands such as date(1), at(1), and calendar(1).
- .PP
- Those sites that do not want to put getdate.o in 'libc.a'
- should put getdate.o in the news subdirectory
- and change the news makefile line which creates the news program:
- .DS
- cc ... -o news
- .DE
- to
- .DS
- cc ... getdate.o -o news
- .DE
