[ tm_year] That is, it is NOT the "century" in the vernacular (where years in the range [2001,2100] are collectively called the 21st century), but the first two digits of the year. The idea is that you combine %C%y to form %Y. > > For a test I changed system time to 1997 and date utility returned 20 > century as well :) No, %C in 1997 returned 19. -- Eric Blake [email protected] +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
