Hello Aurelien, Hello Klaus, This is the example in "man strptime":
#define _XOPEN_SOURCE #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <time.h> int main(void) { struct tm tm; char buf[255]; strptime("2001-11-12 18:31:01", "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", &tm); strftime(buf, sizeof(buf), "%d %b %Y %H:%M", &tm); puts(buf); exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); } As we can see, there's no "memset" initializing the entire tm structure. It would be nice to have a "memset" added in this example, to illustrate the text "that tm should be initialized before the call".
