- .SH NAME
- wcsftime
- \(em convert date and time to a wide-character string
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .LP
- .nf
- #include <wchar.h>
- .P
- size_t wcsftime(wchar_t *restrict \fIwcs\fP, size_t \fImaxsize\fP,
- const wchar_t *restrict \fIformat\fP, const struct tm *restrict \fItimeptr\fP);
- .fi
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
- ISO\ C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the
- ISO\ C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
- .P
- The
- \fIwcsftime\fR()
- function shall be equivalent to the
- \fIstrftime\fR()
- function, except that:
- .IP " *" 4
- The argument
- .IR wcs
- points to the initial element of an array of wide characters into which
- the generated output is to be placed.
- .IP " *" 4
- The argument
- .IR maxsize
- indicates the maximum number of wide characters to be placed in the
- output array.
- .IP " *" 4
- The argument
- .IR format
- is a wide-character string and the conversion specifications are
- replaced by corresponding sequences of wide characters.
- It is unspecified whether an encoding error occurs if the format
- string contains
- .BR wchar_t
- values that do not correspond to members of the character set of the
- current locale.
- .IP " *" 4
- Field widths specify the number of wide characters instead of the
- number of bytes.
- .IP " *" 4
- The return value indicates the number of wide characters placed in the
- output array.
- .P
- If copying takes place between objects that overlap, the behavior is
- undefined.
- .SH "RETURN VALUE"
- If the total number of resulting wide-character codes including the
- terminating null wide-character code is no more than
- .IR maxsize ,
- \fIwcsftime\fR()
- shall return the number of wide-character codes placed into the array
- pointed to by
- .IR wcs ,
- not including the terminating null wide-character code. Otherwise,
- zero is returned and the contents of the array are unspecified.
- .SH ERRORS
- No errors are defined.
- .LP
