Package: octave-forge Version: 2004.11.16-3 Severity: minor The weekday function has incorrect documentation. Its documentation appears to be a copy of datevec's documentation. The doc at the beginning should read something like:
--- Begin Documentation ## -*- texinfo -*- ## @deftypefn {Function File} {[d,s] =} weekday(date, [P]) ## Takes a date (in either datenum format or a string that datenum can ## parse) and returns the number for the day of the week (0 = "Sun", ## 1 = "Mon", ... , "Sat") ## ## The parameter @code{P} is needed to convert date strings with 2 digit ## years into dates with 4 digit years. 2 digit years are assumed to be ## between @code{P} and @code{P+99}. If @code{P} is not given then the ## current year - 50 is used, so that dates are centered on the present. ## For birthdates, you would want @code{P} to be current year - 99. For ## appointments, you would want @code{P} to be current year. ## ## @seealso{date,clock,now,datestr,datenum,datevec,calendar} ## @end deftypefn --- End Documentation Hopefully, I'll be able to submit a patch that will help with making datevec accept strings soon, too.
