NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

#include <wchar.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

[CX] [Option Start] 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.1-2024 defers to the ISO C standard. [Option End]

The wcsftime() function shall be equivalent to the strftime() function, except that:

If copying takes place between objects that overlap, the behavior is undefined.

RETURN VALUE

If the total number of resulting wide-character codes including the terminating null wide-character code is no more than maxsize, wcsftime() shall return the number of wide-character codes placed into the array pointed to by wcs, not including the terminating null wide-character code. Otherwise, zero is returned and the contents of the array are unspecified.

ERRORS

No errors are defined.


The following sections are informative.
