+.fi +.SH DESCRIPTION +The +.BR strptime () +function is the converse of +.BR strftime (3); +it converts the character string pointed to by +.I s +to values which are stored in the +"broken-down time" +structure pointed to by +.IR tm , +using the format specified by +.IR format . +.P +The broken-down time structure +.I tm +is described in +.BR tm (3type). +.P +The +.I format +argument +is a character string that consists of field descriptors and text characters, +reminiscent of +.BR scanf (3). +Each field descriptor consists of a +.B % +character followed by another character that specifies the replacement +for the field descriptor. +All other characters in the +.I format +string must have a matching character in the input string, +except for whitespace, which matches zero or more +whitespace characters in the input string. +There should be white\%space or other alphanumeric characters +between any two field descriptors. +.P +The +.BR strptime () +function processes the input string from left +to right. +Each of the three possible input elements (whitespace, +literal, or format) are handled one after the other. +If the input cannot be matched to the format string, the function stops. +The remainder of the format and input strings are not processed. +.P +The supported input field descriptors are listed below. +In case a text string (such as the name of a day of the week or a month name) +is to be matched, the comparison is case insensitive. +In case a number is to be matched, leading zeros are +permitted but not required. +.TP +.B %% +The +.B % +character. +.TP +.BR %a " or " %A +The name of the day of the week according to the current locale, +in abbreviated form or the full name. +.TP +.BR %b " or " %B " or " %h +The month name according to the current locale, +in abbreviated form or the full name. +.TP +.B %c +The date and time representation for the current locale. +.TP +.B %C +The century number (0\[en]99). +.TP +.BR %d " or " %e +The day of month (1\[en]31). +.TP +.B %D +Equivalent to +.BR %m/%d/%y . +(This is the American style date, very confusing +to non-Americans, especially since +.B %d/%m/%y +is widely used in Europe. +The ISO\~8601 standard format is +.BR %Y\-%m\-%d .) +.TP +.B %H +The hour (0\[en]23). +.TP +.B %I +The hour on a 12-hour clock (1\[en]12). +.TP +.B %j +The day number in the year (1\[en]366). +.TP +.B %m +The month number (1\[en]12). +.TP +.B %M +The minute (0\[en]59). +.TP +.B %n +Arbitrary whitespace. +.TP +.B %p +The locale's equivalent of AM or PM. +(Note: there may be none.) +.TP +.B %r +The 12-hour clock time (using the locale's AM or PM). +In the POSIX locale equivalent to +.BR "%I:%M:%S %p" . +If +.I t_fmt_ampm +is empty in the +.B LC_TIME +part of the current locale, +then the behavior is undefined. +.TP +.B %R +Equivalent to +.BR %H:%M . +.TP +.B %S +The second (0\[en]60;

values in the +range 00\[en]68 refer to years in the twenty-first century (2000\[en]2068). +.TP +.B %Y +The year, including century (for example, 1991). +.P +Some field descriptors can be modified by the E or O modifier characters +to indicate that an alternative format or specification should be used. +If the +alternative format or specification does not exist in the current locale, the +unmodified field descriptor is used. +.P +The E modifier specifies that the input string may contain +alternative locale-dependent versions of the date and time representation: +.TP +.B %Ec +The locale's alternative date and time representation. +.TP +.B %EC +The name of the base year (period) in the locale's alternative representation. +.TP +.B %Ex +The locale's alternative date representation. +.TP +.B %EX +The locale's alternative time representation. +.TP +.B %Ey +The offset from +.B %EC +(year only) in the locale's alternative representation. +.TP +.B %EY +The full alternative year representation. +.P +The O modifier specifies that the numerical input may be in an +alternative locale-dependent format: +.TP +.BR %Od " or " %Oe +The day of the month using the locale's alternative numeric symbols; +leading zeros are permitted but not required. +.TP +.B %OH +The hour (24-hour clock) using the locale's alternative numeric symbols. +.TP +.B %OI +The hour (12-hour clock) using the locale's alternative numeric symbols. +.TP +.B %Om +The month using the locale's alternative numeric symbols. +.TP +.B %OM +The minutes using the locale's alternative numeric symbols. +.TP +.B %OS +The seconds using the locale's alternative numeric symbols. +.TP +.B %OU +The week number of the year (Sunday as the first day of the week) +using the locale's alternative numeric symbols. +.TP +.B %Ow +The ordinal number of the day of the week (Sunday=0), +using the locale's alternative numeric symbols. +.TP +.B %OW +The week number of the year (Monday as the first day of the week) +using the locale's alternative numeric symbols. +.TP +.B %Oy +The year (offset from +.BR %C ) +using the locale's alternative numeric symbols. +.SH RETURN VALUE +The return value of the function is a pointer to the first character +not processed in this function call. +In case the input string +contains more characters than required by the format string, the return +value points right after the last consumed input character. +In case the whole input string is consumed, +the return value points to the null byte at the end of the string. +If +.BR strptime () +fails to match all +of the format string and therefore an error occurred, the function +returns NULL. +.SH ATTRIBUTES +For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see +.BR attributes (7). +.TS +allbox;
