-.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; 60 may occur for leap seconds; -earlier also 61 was allowed). -.TP -.B %t -Arbitrary whitespace. -.TP -.B %T -Equivalent to -.BR %H:%M:%S . -.TP -.B %U -The week number with Sunday the first day of the week (0\[en]53). -The first Sunday of January is the first day of week 1. -.TP -.B %w -The ordinal number of the day of the week (0\[en]6), with Sunday = 0. -.TP -.B %W -The week number with Monday the first day of the week (0\[en]53). -The first Monday of January is the first day of week 1. -.TP -.B %x -The date, using the locale's date format. -.TP -.B %X -The time, using the locale's time format. -.TP -.B %y -The year within century (0\[en]99). -When a century is not otherwise specified, values in the range 69\[en]99 refer -to years in the twentieth century (1969\[en]1999); 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;

-.\" %OI was fixed in glibc 2.2.4). -.SS glibc notes -For reasons of symmetry, glibc tries to support for -.BR strptime () -the same format characters as for -.BR strftime (3). -(In most cases, the corresponding fields are parsed, but no field in -.I tm -is changed.) -This leads to -.TP -.B %F -Equivalent to -.BR %Y\-%m\-%d , -the ISO\~8601 date format. -.TP -.B %g -The year corresponding to the ISO week number, but without the century -(0\[en]99). -.TP -.B %G -The year corresponding to the ISO week number. -(For example, 1991.) -.TP -.B %u -The day of the week as a decimal number (1\[en]7, where Monday = 1). -.TP -.B %V -The ISO\~8601:1988 week number as a decimal number (1\[en]53). -If the week (starting on Monday) containing 1 January has four or more days -in the new year, then it is considered week 1. -Otherwise, it is the last week -of the previous year, and the next week is week 1. -.TP -.B %z -An RFC-822/ISO\~8601 standard timezone specification. -.TP -.B %Z -The timezone name. -.P -Similarly, because of GNU extensions to -.BR strftime (3), -.B %k -is accepted as a synonym for -.BR %H , -and -.B %l -should be accepted -as a synonym for -.BR %I , -and -.B %P -is accepted as a synonym for -.BR %p . -Finally -.TP -.B %s -The number of seconds since the Epoch, 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 (UTC). -Leap seconds are not counted unless leap second support is available. -.P -The glibc implementation does not require whitespace between -two field descriptors. -.SH EXAMPLES -The following example demonstrates the use of -.BR strptime () -and -.BR strftime (3). -.P -.\" SRC BEGIN (strptime.c) -.EX -#define _XOPEN_SOURCE -#include <stdio.h> -#include <stdlib.h> -#include <string.h> -#include <time.h> -\& -int -main(void) -{ - struct tm tm;
