The spec file explains that the picture "%c" stands for
locale's date and time (including the time zone).
However, the replacement picture doesn't include %z (which
isn't supported AFAICS.)
from the spec:
-- %c locale's date and time (Sat Nov 04 12:02:33 EST 1989)
from the body:
when 'c' =>
case Padding is
when Zero =>
Result := Result & Image (Date, "%a %b %d %T %Y");
$ ./testtime
Wed Jun 13 17:17:41 2007
(This has lead to a time shift when some application, such as a MTA,
interprets the time WRT a different default time zone, such as UTC.)
with GNAT.Calendar.Time_IO;
with Ada.Calendar;
with Ada.Text_IO;
procedure testtime is
begin
Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line
(GNAT.Calendar.Time_IO.Image (Ada.Calendar.Clock, "%c"));
end;
The code is present in trunk, Rev 125413
