NAME¶

scan_iso8601 - parse an ISO-8601 timestamp

SYNTAX¶

#include <libowfat/scan.h>

size_t scan_iso8601(const char *src,struct timespec *dest);

DESCRIPTION¶

scan_iso8601 parses a timestamp as defined in ISO-8601 into a struct timespec. It returns the number of bytes read from src (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.
