WCSFTIME(3)              BSD Library Functions Manual              WCSFTIME(3)

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 infor-
     mation.

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

SEE ALSO
     strftime(3), xlocale(3)

STANDARDS
     The wcsftime() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (``ISO C99'').
