.SH NAME
caltime \- calendar dates and times
.SH SYNTAX
.B #include <caltime.h>
unsigned int \fBcaltime_fmt\fP(\fIs\fR,&\fIct\fR);
.br
unsigned int \fBcaltime_scan\fP(\fIs\fR,&\fIct\fR);
struct caltime \fIct\fR;

.SH DESCRIPTION
A
.B struct caltime
value is a calendar date and time with an offset in minutes from UTC.
It has five components:
.B date
(a
.B struct caldate\fR),
.B hour
(0...23),
.B minute
(0...59),
.B second
(0...60),
and
.B offset
(-5999...5999).
For example,
a leap second occurred
on 30 June 1997 at 23:59:60 UTC.
The local time in New York was
30 June 1997 19:59:60 -0400.
This local time is represented inside a
.B struct caltime
with
.B date
containing 1997, 6, 30;
.B hour
19;
.B minute
59;
.B second
60;
and
.B offset
\-240
(4 hours).
.SH FORMATTING
.B caltime_fmt
prints
.I ct
in ISO style (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss +oooo)
into the character buffer
.IR s ,
without a terminating NUL.
It returns the number of characters printed.
.I s
may be zero;
then
.B caltime_fmt
returns the number of characters that would have been printed.
.B caltime_scan
reads a calendar date, time, and offset in ISO style
from the beginning of the character buffer
.I s
and puts them into
.IR ct .
It returns the number of characters read.
If
.I s
does not start with an ISO-style date and time (including offset),
.B caltime_scan
returns 0.
