NAME

       wcsftime - convert date and time to a wide-character string

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wchar.h>

       size_t wcsftime(wchar_t *restrict wcs, size_t maxsize,
               const  wchar_t  *restrict  format,  const  struct  tm *restrict
       timeptr);

DESCRIPTION

       The wcsftime() function shall be equivalent to the strftime() function,
       except that:

        * The  argument  wcs points to the initial element of an array of wide
          characters into which the generated output is to be placed.

        * The argument maxsize indicates the maximum number of wide characters
          to be placed in the output array.

        * The  argument  format  is a wide-character string and the conversion
          specifications are  replaced  by  corresponding  sequences  of  wide
          characters.

        * The  return  value indicates the number of wide characters placed in
          the output array.

       If copying takes place between objects that overlap,  the  behavior  is
       undefined.

RETURN VALUE

       If  the  total  number  of resulting wide-character codes including the
       terminating  null  wide-character  code  is  no  more   than   maxsize,
       wcsftime()  shall return the number of wide-character codes placed into
       the array pointed to by wcs, not including the terminating  null  wide-
       character  code.  Otherwise,  zero  is returned and the contents of the
       array are unspecified.
