ws_strptime()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC char * ws_strptime	(	const char *	buf,
		const char *	format,
		struct tm *	tm,
		struct ws_timezone *	zonep
	)

Parse a date/time string using NetBSD's strptime() with the "C" locale.

This function is a modified version of NetBSD's strptime(), adapted to always use the "C" locale for consistent parsing behavior across platforms. It converts the input string buf into broken-down time components stored in tm, according to the format string format. If available, timezone information is stored in the optional zonep structure.

Parameters

buf	Input string containing the date/time representation.
format	Format string specifying the expected structure of buf.
tm	Output structure to receive parsed time components.
zonep	Optional output for timezone offset and name (may be NULL).

Returns

Pointer to the first character not processed, or NULL on failure.

ws_strptime_p()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC char * ws_strptime_p	(	const char *	buf,
		const char *	format,
		struct tm *	tm
	)

Portable wrapper around the system's strptime().

Provides a compatibility layer for parsing date/time strings using the system's native strptime() implementation. This wrapper ensures consistent behavior across platforms that support strptime(), without enforcing locale or timezone extensions.

Parameters

buf	Input string containing the date/time representation.
format	Format string specifying the expected structure of buf.
tm	Output structure to receive parsed time components.

Returns

Pointer to the first character not processed, or NULL on failure.
