✨ clock_rfc2822 ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the tcllib manual — it's clock_rfc2822(3tcl) — and it's literally just about one (1) thing: parsing RFC 2822 dates/times. tiny page, huge slay. let's get into it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

clock_rfc2822 — parsing RFC 2822 dates/times. that's it. that's the whole job. and she does it well 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

package require Tcl 8.5 9

package require clock::rfc2822 ?0.2?

::clock::rfc2822 parse_date date

so you need Tcl 8.5 or 9 (yes both, she's flexible like that ✨), then you pull in the package clock::rfc2822 — version 0.2 if you're being specific, or don't specify and just vibe — and then there's exactly one command waiting for you. one. iconic minimalism.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

this package gives you the functionality to parse dates that are in RFC 2822 format. no more, no less. she's not trying to be everything, she's just being herself. 🫶

💜 ::clock::rfc2822 parse_date date

okay so this command — parse_date — takes your RFC2822 date string and hands you back the given date in seconds since epoch. so like, a nice lil integer you can actually do math with. ⭐

heads up bestie: if the command can't parse the date, it throws an error. no silent nonsense, no fake date, she will simply tell you. 💀

so the flow is: you give her a date string, she gives you epoch seconds, or she yells. straightforward queen behavior 👑

😭 BUGS, IDEAS, FEEDBACK 😭

real talk: this document, and the package it describes, will undoubtedly contain bugs and other problems. that's just how software is, ngl. 🙈

  • please report bugs in the category clock::rfc2822 of the Tcllib Trackers at http://core.tcl.tk/tcllib/reportlist
  • also please report any ideas for enhancements you may have for either the package and/or the documentation — she wants to hear your thoughts fr fr

when you're proposing code changes, please provide unified diffs, i.e. the output of diff -u. that's the format. not vibes, diffs. 💅

also note: attachments are strongly preferred over inlined patches. you make an attachment by going to the Edit form of the ticket immediately after its creation, and then using the left-most button in the secondary navigation bar. iykyk. ✨
