Summary 0000920: missing %F description in strptime
Description The description of the %F conversion specifier appears to be missing from strptime(). I believe this is an omission because:
  • Page 2041 line 65181 mentions %F
  • strftime() specifies %F
Desired Action On page 2042 after line 65194 (strptime() DESCRIPTION) insert:
<tt>F</tt> The date as <tt>%Y-%m-%d</tt> if no field width and no modifier is specified.


TODO: Specify behavior if a modifier and/or field width is specified.

 I don't believe this is an omission. %F was not in SUSv3 and there was no change request to add it in SUSv4. I believe what happened is that when field widths were added to strftime and strptime, the changes included statements that the behaviour of field widths is unspecified for conversions other than C, F, G, or Y in strftime, and other than C, F, or Y in strptime, but the inclusion of F in this statement for strptime was a mistake, since strptime has no F conversion.

We should add %F to strptime in Issue 8 (via 0000879), but it would not be in scope to add it in TC2. We should instead just change "C, F, or Y" to "C or Y" on line 65181 for TC2.

 Interpretation response
------------------------

The standard states the requirements for field widths in strptime(), and conforming implementations must conform to this. However, concerns have been raised about this which are being referred to the sponsor.

Rationale:
-------------

The standard states that the behavior of field widths is unspecified for conversions other than C, F, or Y, but does not specify an F conversion.

Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation):
-------------------------------------------------------

On Page: 2041 Line: 65181 Section: strptime()

In the DESCRIPTION section, change from:

... conversion specifier other than C, F, or Y.

to:

... conversion specifier other than C or Y.
