NAME

wcsftime, wcsftime_l — convert date and time to a wide-character string

LIBRARY

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

#include <wchar.h>

size_t
wcsftime(wchar_t *restrict wcs, size_t maxsize, const wchar_t *restrict format, const struct tm *restrict timeptr);

#include <wchar.h>
#include <xlocale.h>

size_t
wcsftime_l(wchar_t *restrict wcs, size_t maxsize, const wchar_t *restrict format, const struct tm *restrict timeptr, locale_t loc);

DESCRIPTION

The wcsftime() function is equivalent to the strftime() function, except for the types of its arguments. Refer to strftime(3) for a detailed description.

While the wcsftime() function uses the current locale, the wcsftime_l() function may be passed a locale directly. See xlocale(3) for more information.

COMPATIBILITY

Some early implementations of wcsftime() had a format argument with type const char *, instead of const wchar_t *.

STANDARDS

The wcsftime() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (“ISO C99”).
