.TH scan_iso8601 3 .SH NAME scan_iso8601 \- parse an ISO-8601 timestamp .SH SYNTAX .B #include size_t \fBscan_iso8601\fP(const char *\fIsrc\fR,struct timespec *\fIdest\fR); .SH DESCRIPTION scan_iso8601 parses a timestamp as defined in ISO-8601 into a struct timespec. It returns the number of bytes read from \fIsrc\fR (0 for parse error). scan_iso8601 supports input timestamps in time zones other than UTC even though fmt_iso8601 does not. Note that the returned time_t is always in UTC, even if a local time was given. .SH "SEE ALSO" fmt_iso8601(3)
