| Summary | 0003849: strftime/strptime and asctime | ||||||||||
| Description | Full_Name: Joshua Smith Version: 3.09 OS: Linux Submission from: dsl092-167-152.wdc2.dsl.speakeasy.net (66.92.167.152) I would like to have strftime/strptime and asctime added into the Unix module. This functionality exists in non-standard modules but it would be nice to have a more complete Unix module. | ||||||||||

Yeah even the C90 standard library has asctime() and ctime(); why doesn't OCaml? Although you can convert between time and struct tm types, there is no way to get any of those into a string to display in OCaml, which is really silly. |

It'd be good to even have a basic time-to-string function such as asctime (though strftime/strptime would be ideal). These functions would be a handy addition to the Unix module. Alternatively it could be good to add to the Printf module so that it can display floating point numbers (seconds since 1 Jan 1970) as date/times. This would be similar to Java, and quite useful: %tY => year %tm => month %td => day %tF => ISO 8601 date etc |
