However, this is difficult to use, and requires programs to implement their own parser for the field descriptors. This causes duplication of code and means all the programs have to be kept up-to-date with any changes to the set of allowed field descriptors. Would it be possible to add a function similar to strftime() which will parse a *name* format string and substitute values for its field descriptors? -- Configure bugmail: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
