Re: [PATCH] strftime: support %q to output the quarter of year

[Pádraig Brady <P at draigBrady dot com>]

Updated patch attached.

Tested using:

 sudo alternatives --set ld /usr/bin/ld.bfd
 mkdir build.tmp
 cd build.tmp
 ../configure --quiet --disable-sanity-checks
 make PARALLELMFLAGS=-j$(nproc)
 make -r PARALLELMFLAGS=-j$(nproc) -C $PWD/../time objdir=$(pwd) check
 ./testrun.sh time/tst-strftime && echo ok

Note even though the code is trivial here,
%q is useful as from the shell you need to:
$(( ($(date +%-m)-1)/3+1 ))

thanks,
Pádraig.

Subject: [PATCH] strftime: support %q to output the quarter of year

This is already supported by gnulib.

* manual/time.texi: Document %q outputs quarter 1..4.
* time/strftime_l.c: Implement %q.
* time/tst-strftime.c: Add a test case.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
