NAME¶

GetTimeFormatA (KERNEL32.@)

SYNOPSIS¶

INT GetTimeFormatA
(
LCID lcid,
DWORD dwFlags,
const SYSTEMTIME* lpTime,
LPCSTR lpFormat,
LPSTR lpTimeStr,
INT cchOut
)

DESCRIPTION¶

Format a time for a given locale.

PARAMS¶

lcid [In] Locale to format for. dwFlags [In] LOCALE_ and TIME_ flags from "winnls.h". lpTime [In] Time to format. lpFormat [In] Formatting overrides. lpTimeStr [Out] Destination for formatted string. cchOut [In] Size of lpTimeStr, or 0 to calculate the resulting size.

NOTES¶

- If lpFormat is NULL, lpszValue will be formatted according to the format details returned by GetLocaleInfoA(3w) and modified by dwFlags. - lpFormat is a string of characters and formatting tokens. Any characters in the string are copied verbatim to lpTimeStr, with tokens being replaced by the time values they represent. - The following tokens have special meanings in a time format string:
Token Meaning
----- -------
h Hours with no leading zero (12-hour clock)
hh Hours with full two digits (12-hour clock)
H Hours with no leading zero (24-hour clock)
HH Hours with full two digits (24-hour clock)
m Minutes with no leading zero
mm Minutes with full two digits
s Seconds with no leading zero
ss Seconds with full two digits
t Short time marker (e.g. "A" or "P")
tt Long time marker (e.g. "AM", "PM") - To output any literal character that could be misidentified as a token, enclose it in single quotes. - The Ascii version of this function fails if lcid is Unicode only.

RETURNS¶

Success: The number of character written to lpTimeStr, or that would have been written, if cchOut is 0. Failure: 0. Use GetLastError(3w) to determine the cause.

IMPLEMENTATION¶

Declared in "winnls.h". Implemented in "dlls/kernel32/lcformat.c". Debug channel "nls".
