Robbins {EUCC}) Date: Fri, 12 Dec 86 13:36:36 EST Organization: Math & Computer Science, Emory University, Atlanta Shouldn't there be some indication in errno that no conversion was found [ by settz -mod ]? Otherwise, how is one's code supposed to know that the string passed to settz() was valid and settz() couldn't find a conversion? Both return -1! [ Maybe EINVAL? -mod ] >4.5.4.2 Description > The localtime() function converts the calendar time pointed to ^^^^^^^^^^^ I think that this should be 'ctime', as that is the functionality desribed by the next two lines: >by timer to local time in the form of a string. It is equivalent to > asctime(localtime(timer)) Otherwise, the proposal looks good to me! --- Arnold Robbins CSNET: arnold@emory BITNET: arnold@emoryu1 ARPA: arnold%emory.csnet@csnet-relay.arpa UUCP: { akgua, decvax, gatech, sb1, sb6, sunatl }!emory!arnold Volume-Number: Volume 8, Number 66
