+ | ======Synopsis:====== | ||
+ | $__stime__(<integer representing UTC value>) | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Technical:====== | ||
+ | * If the argument is omitted, this function returns the empty string. | ||
+ | * The function passes the integer value you provide to the __ctime__ C Library Function and returns the result, after chopping off the trailing newline. | ||
+ | * The return value of this function is supposed to be human readable. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Practical:====== | ||
+ | This function converts the return value of $[[time function|time]]() | ||
+ | into something a human being can understand. It is a simpler version of | ||
+ | the $[[strftime]]() function. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Returns:====== | ||
+ | current date/time string in human-readable form | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Examples:====== | ||
+ | <file> | ||
+ | $stime($time()) current time string | ||
+ | $stime(0) the dawn of time | ||
+ | </file> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======History:====== | ||
+ | This function first appeared in ircII. | ||
