💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so basically, this package hands you the power to parse dates that are written in RFC 2822 format. that's it. that's the mission. and it ate. 🔥

• ::clock::rfc2822 parse_date date — bestie, you hand this command an RFC2822 date string, and it hands you back that same date expressed in seconds since epoch. clock math unlocked 💅. but heads up: if the command can't parse the date? it throws an error. no silent nonsense, no pretending, just a straight-up error. respect fr fr. 😤

🙈 BUGS, IDEAS, FEEDBACK 🙈

ngl, this document and the package it describes will undoubtedly contain bugs and other problems. that's just how software is, we don't lie here 💀.

so if you find one, please report it in the category clock::rfc2822 of the Tcllib Trackers over at:

http://core.tcl.tk/tcllib/reportlist

and hey — if you've got ideas for enhancements for either the package and/or the documentation, send those along too. we love a glow-up suggestion 🫶✨

when you're proposing code changes, please provide unified diffs, i.e. the output of diff -u. that's the format, no substitutions 🧚

also, note further that attachments are strongly preferred over inlined patches — like, strongly. the way to attach one is: go to the Edit form of the ticket immediately after its creation, and then use the left-most button in the secondary navigation bar. that's the one. found it. slay 💖
