       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The       Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or       the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME        top

       strptime — date and time conversion

SYNOPSIS        top

       #include <time.h>       char *strptime(const char *restrictbuf, const char *restrictformat,           struct tm *restricttm);

DESCRIPTION        top

       Thestrptime() function shall convert the character string pointed       to bybuf to values which are stored in thetmstructure pointed       to bytm, using the format specified byformat.       The format is composed of zero or more directives. Each directive       is composed of one of the following: one or more white-space       characters (as specified byisspace()); an ordinary character       (neither'%'nor a white-space character); or a conversion       specification.       Each conversion specification is introduced by the'%'character       after which the following appear in sequence:        *  An optional flag, the zero character ('0') or the <plus-sign>           character ('+'), which is ignored.        *  An optional field width. If a field width is specified, it           shall be interpreted as a string of decimal digits that will           determine the maximum number of bytes converted for the           conversion rather than the number of bytes specified below in           the description of the conversion specifiers.        *  An optionalEorOmodifier.        *  A terminating conversion specifier character that indicates           the type of conversion to be applied.       The conversions are determined using theLC_TIME category of the       current locale. The application shall ensure that there is white-       space or other non-alphanumeric characters between any two       conversion specifications unless all of the adjacent conversion       specifications convert a known, fixed number of characters. In the       following list, the maximum number of characters scanned       (excluding the one matching the next directive) is as follows:        *  If a maximum field width is specified, then that number        *  Otherwise, the pattern"{x}"indicates that the maximum isx        *  Otherwise, the pattern"[x,y]"indicates that the value shall           fall within the range given (both bounds being inclusive), and           the maximum number of characters scanned shall be the maximum           required to represent any value in the range without leading           zeros and without a leading <plus-sign>       The following conversion specifiers are supported.       The results are unspecified if a modifier is specified with a flag       or with a minimum field width, or if a field width is specified       for any conversion specifier other thanCorY.       a       The day of the week, using the locale's weekday names;               either the abbreviated or full name may be specified.       A       Equivalent to%a.       b       The month, using the locale's month names; either the               abbreviated or full name may be specified.

C       All but the last two digits of the year {2}; leading zeros               shall be permitted but shall not be required. A leading'+'or'-'character shall be permitted before any leading               zeros but shall not be required.       d       The day of the month [01,31]; leading zeros shall be               permitted but shall not be required.       D       The date as%m/%d/%y.       e       Equivalent to%d.       h       Equivalent to%b.       H       The hour (24-hour clock) [00,23]; leading zeros shall be               permitted but shall not be required.       I       The hour (12-hour clock) [01,12]; leading zeros shall be               permitted but shall not be required.       j       The day number of the year [001,366]; leading zeros shall               be permitted but shall not be required.       m       The month number [01,12]; leading zeros shall be permitted               but shall not be required.       M       The minute [00,59]; leading zeros shall be permitted but               shall not be required.       n       Any white space.       p       The locale's equivalent of a.m. or p.m.       r       12-hour clock time using the AM/PM notation ift_fmt_ampm               is not an empty string in theLC_TIME portion of the               current locale; in the POSIX locale, this shall be               equivalent to%I:%M:%S %p.       R       The time as%H:%M.       S       The seconds [00,60]; leading zeros shall be permitted but               shall not be required.       t       Any white space.       T       The time as%H:%M:%S.       U       The week number of the year (Sunday as the first day of               the week) as a decimal number [00,53]; leading zeros shall               be permitted but shall not be required.       w       The weekday as a decimal number [0,6], with 0 representing               Sunday.       W       The week number of the year (Monday as the first day of               the week) as a decimal number [00,53]; leading zeros shall               be permitted but shall not be required.       x       The date, using the locale's date format.       X       The time, using the locale's time format.       y       The last two digits of the year. Whenformat contains               neither aCconversion specifier nor aYconversion               specifier, values in the range [69,99] shall refer to               years 1969 to 1999 inclusive and values in the range               [00,68] shall refer to years 2000 to 2068 inclusive;               leading zeros shall be permitted but shall not be               required. A leading'+'or'-'character shall be               permitted before any leading zeros but shall not be               required.Note:It is expected that in a future version of this                      standard the default century inferred from a                      2-digit year will change. (This would apply to all                      commands accepting a 2-digit year as input.)       Y       The full year {4}; leading zeros shall be permitted but               shall not be required. A leading'+'or'-'character               shall be permitted before any leading zeros but shall not               be required.       %       Replaced by%.Modified Conversion Specifiers       Some conversion specifiers can be modified by theEandOmodifier       characters to indicate that an alternative format or specification       should be used rather than the one normally used by the unmodified       conversion specifier. If the alternative format or specification       does not exist in the current locale, the behavior shall be as if       the unmodified conversion specification were used.       %Ec     The locale's alternative appropriate date and time               representation.       %EC     The name of the base year (period) in the locale's               alternative representation.       %Ex     The locale's alternative date representation.       %EX     The locale's alternative time representation.       %Ey     The offset from%EC(year only) in the locale's               alternative representation.       %EY     The full alternative year representation.       %Od     The day of the month using the locale's alternative               numeric symbols; leading zeros shall be permitted but               shall not be required.       %Oe     Equivalent to%Od.       %OH     The hour (24-hour clock) using the locale's alternative               numeric symbols.       %OI     The hour (12-hour clock) using the locale's alternative               numeric symbols.       %Om     The month using the locale's alternative numeric symbols.       %OM     The minutes using the locale's alternative numeric               symbols.       %OS     The seconds using the locale's alternative numeric               symbols.       %OU     The week number of the year (Sunday as the first day of               the week) using the locale's alternative numeric symbols.       %Ow     The number of the weekday (Sunday=0) using the locale's               alternative numeric symbols.       %OW     The week number of the year (Monday as the first day of               the week) using the locale's alternative numeric symbols.       %Oy     The year (offset from%C) using the locale's alternative               numeric symbols.       A conversion specification composed of white-space characters is       executed by scanning input up to the first character that is not       white-space (which remains unscanned), or until no more characters       can be scanned.       A conversion specification that is an ordinary character is       executed by scanning the next character from the buffer. If the       character scanned from the buffer differs from the one comprising       the directive, the directive fails, and the differing and       subsequent characters remain unscanned.       A series of conversion specifications composed of%n,%t, white-       space characters, or any combination is executed by scanning up to       the first character that is not white space (which remains       unscanned), or until no more characters can be scanned.       Any other conversion specification is executed by scanning       characters until a character matching the next directive is       scanned, or until no more characters can be scanned. These       characters, except the one matching the next directive, are then       compared to the locale values associated with the conversion       specifier. If a match is found, values for the appropriatetm       structure members are set to values corresponding to the locale       information. Case is ignored when matching items inbuf such as       month or weekday names. If no match is found,strptime() fails and       no more characters are scanned.

RETURN VALUE        top

       Upon successful completion,strptime() shall return a pointer to       the character following the last character parsed. Otherwise, a       null pointer shall be returned.

ERRORS        top

       No errors are defined.The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES        top

Convert a Date-Plus-Time String to Broken-Down Time and Then intoSeconds       The following example demonstrates the use ofstrptime() to       convert a string into broken-down time. The broken-down time is       then converted into seconds since the Epoch usingmktime().           #include <time.h>           ...           struct tm tm;           time_t t;           if (strptime("6 Dec 2001 12:33:45", "%d %b %Y %H:%M:%S", &tm) == NULL)               /* Handle error */;           printf("year: %d; month: %d; day: %d;\n",                   tm.tm_year, tm.tm_mon, tm.tm_mday);           printf("hour: %d; minute: %d; second: %d\n",                   tm.tm_hour, tm.tm_min, tm.tm_sec);           printf("week day: %d; year day: %d\n", tm.tm_wday, tm.tm_yday);           tm.tm_isdst = -1;      /* Not set by strptime(); tells mktime()                                     to determine whether daylight saving time                                     is in effect */           t = mktime(&tm);           if (t == -1)               /* Handle error */;           printf("seconds since the Epoch: %ld\n", (long) t);"

APPLICATION USAGE        top

       Several ``equivalent to'' formats and the special processing of       white-space characters are provided in order to ease the use of       identicalformat strings forstrftime() andstrptime().       It should be noted that dates constructed by thestrftime()       function with the%Yor%C%yconversion specifiers may have values       larger than 9999. If thestrptime() function is used to read such       values using%C%yor%Y, the year values will be truncated to four       digits. Applications should use%+w%yor%+xYwithw andx set       large enough to contain the full value of any years that will be       printed or scanned.       See also the APPLICATION USAGE section instrftime(3p).       It is unspecified whether multiple calls tostrptime() using the       sametmstructure will update the current contents of the       structure or overwrite all contents of the structure. Conforming       applications should make a single call tostrptime() with a format       and all data needed to completely specify the date and time being       converted.
