For example, if this function is called with a date of 2003-09-24 the date will be modified to 2003-08-01.

Parameters

date	The GDate to modify.

This function modifies a GDate to set it to the first day of the month prior to the one in which it falls.

This routine has no knowledge of how many days are in a month, whether its a leap year, etc. All that information is contained in the glib date functions.

Parameters

date	The GDate to modify.

qof_scan_date Convert a string into day / month / year integers according to the current dateFormat value.

Args: buff - pointer to date string day - will store day of the month as 1 ... 31 month - will store month of the year as 1 ... 12 year - will store the year (4-digit)

Return: TRUE if the string seemed to be a valid date; else FALSE.

qof_strftime()

gsize qof_strftime	(	gchar *	buf,
		gsize	max,
		const gchar *	format,
		const struct tm *	tm
	)

qof_strftime calls qof_format_time to print a given time and afterwards tries to put the result into a buffer of fixed size.

Warning

HACK ALERT – the scan and print routines should probably be moved to somewhere else. The engine really isn't involved with things like printing formats. This is needed mostly by the GUI and so on. If a file-io thing needs date handling, it should do it itself, instead of depending on the routines here.

Parameters

buf	A buffer.
max	The size of buf in bytes.
format	A format specification in UTF-8.
tm	A broken-down time.

Returns

The number of characters written, not include the null byte, if the complete string, including the null byte, fits into the buffer. Otherwise 0.
