SNOBOL4TIME(1)SNOBOL4TIME(1)NAMEsnobol4time - SNOBOL4 time functions
SYNOPSIS-INCLUDE 'time.sno'
DESCRIPTION
The GETTIMEOFDAY() function returns a DATA() object of type TIMEVAL
with members TV_SEC (seconds since 1/1/1970 GMT) and TV_USEC (microsec‐
onds since start of day).
LOCALTIME(sec) takes seconds since 1/1/1970, and returns a DATA()
object of type TM with members:
TM_SEC seconds since start of local minute (0 to 60)
TM_MIN minutes since start of local hour (0 to 59)
TM_HOUR hours since start of local day (0 to 23)
TM_MDAY day of month (1 to 31)
TM_MON month of year (0 to 11)
TM_YEAR year minus 1900
TM_WDAY day of week (sunday = 0)
TM_YDAY day of year (0 to 365)
TM_ISDST is non-zero if summer time in effect at that time
TM_GMTOFF offset from UTC in seconds (or -1 if not available)
GMTIME(sec) converts seconds to a TM object, but without any local time
zone adjustments.
MKTIME(tm) converts a TM object to seconds since 1/1/1970.
SLEEP(fp_sec) suspends program execution for a number of (floating
point) seconds. Not all platforms may support sleep, or sleep for
fractional seconds. Sleep resolution may vary between platforms.
Returns failure if the system indicated the sleep time was less than
the requested time.
STRFTIME(format,tm) formats the date information in tm according to the
format string. Consult your local strftime(3) manual page (or C run‐
time manual) for more details.
STRPTIME(str,format) parses a string using using the supplied format
and returns a TM object with the parsed elements filled in. Consult
your local strptime(3) manual page (or C runtime manual) for more
details.
