mess822_date(3) Library Functions Manual mess822_date(3) NAME mess822_date - print a timestamp in RFC 822 format SYNTAX #include <mess822.h> int mess822_date(&sa,&t); stralloc sa; mess822_time t; DESCRIPTION mess822_date takes the timestamp in t and puts it into sa in RFC 822 format. It returns 1 on success, 0 if it runs out of memory. See http://pobox.com/~djb/proto/immhf/date.html for a description of the RFC 822 timestamp format. Typical example: 16 Aug 1998 15:09:01 -0000 The timestamp in t has the following structure. If t.known is 0 then there is no timestamp; mess822_date prints an empty string. If t.known is 1 then t.ct contains a date and time in UTC in struct caltime for- mat, with no information about the timestamp creator's time zone. If t.known is 2 then t.ct contains a date and time in the timestamp cre- ator's time zone. mess822_date can tolerate out-of-range numbers for month, day, hour, minute, second, and zone, though in this case it no longer guarantees that its output will make sense. mess822_date can handle years from 1900 through at least 2000000000.
