On page 1962 line 63784 section strftime(), change: Replaced by the number of seconds since the Epoch as a decimal number (see XBD Section 4.17, on page 93). [all members, as if by a call to mktime()] to: Replaced by the number of seconds since the Epoch as a decimal number, calculated as described for mktime(). [all members] On page 1964 lines 63877-63878, change: If the total number of resulting bytes including the terminating null byte is not more than maxsize to: If successful On page 1964 line 63879, change: Otherwise to: If successful, errno shall not be changed. Otherwise On page 1964, after line 63882, add (as a "shall fail"): [ERANGE] The total number of resulting bytes including the terminating NUL character is more than maxsize. On page 1965, move lines 63883-63884 to just after line 63887, so that [EOVERFLOW] is a "may fail" rather than a "shall fail". On page 1965 after line 63906 "APPLICATION USAGE" add: A return value of 0 may indicate either success or failure if a format is the empty string or consists of conversion specifications such as %p or %Z that are replaced by no characters in the current locale or because of the current setting of tzname[], respectively. To distinguish between success and failure when strftime() returns 0, an application can set errno to 0 before calling strftime() and test whether errno is 0 afterwards.
