-- |This module is for ANSI C's asctime() format. -- -- ANSI C's asctime() format looks like: -- -- @Wdy Mon DD HH:MM:SS YYYY@ -- -- The exact syntax is as follows: -- -- > date-time ::= wday ' ' month ' ' day ' ' time ' ' year -- > wday ::= "Mon" | "Tue" | "Wed" | "Thu" -- > | "Fri" | "Sat" | "Sun" -- > month ::= "Jan" | "Feb" | "Mar" | "Apr" -- > | "May" | "Jun" | "Jul" | "Aug" -- > | "Sep" | "Oct" | "Nov" | "Dec" -- > day ::= 2DIGIT -- > time ::= 2DIGIT ':' 2DIGIT [':' 2DIGIT] -- > year ::= 4DIGIT -- -- As you can see, it has no time zone info. "Data.Time.HTTP" will -- treat it as UTC. module Data.Time.Asctime ( format , parse ) where import qualified Text.Parsec as P import Data.Time import Data.Time.Calendar.WeekDate import Data.Time.HTTP.Common import Data.Time.Asctime.Parsec -- |Format a 'LocalTime' in the ANSI C's asctime() way. format :: LocalTime -> String format localTime = let (year, month, day) = toGregorian (localDay localTime) (_, _, week) = toWeekDate (localDay localTime) timeOfDay = localTimeOfDay localTime in concat [ shortWeekDayName week , ", " , shortMonthName month , " " , show2 day , " " , show2 (todHour timeOfDay) , ":" , show2 (todMin timeOfDay) , ":" , show2 (floor (todSec timeOfDay)) , " " , show4 year ] -- |Parse an ANSI C's asctime() format to 'LocalTime'.
