Print time and date information.
timeprint is a Windows command-line tool that provides a way to format and display aspects of the
current or elapsed date and time. It is based on the C++ standard strftime function, plus
additional functionality.
For full documentation on timeprint, see timeprint.txt.
The built executable is timeprint.exe, and can be copied anywhere to your command path. There is
no Windows installation required for this tool.
This project uses the CMake build tool. CMake is a meta-build system that locates and uses your local development tools to build the project if possible.
To build, first install CMake. Then go to the project root directory and run the following command:
cmake -B build
This will locate your installed development tools and configure your project build in the build/
directory. After that, whenever you want a new build, run this command:
cmake --build build
This will build a debug version of the project, located in build/Debug/. To build a release
version, run
cmake --build build --config release
You can find the built release executable in build/Release/.
timeprint is validated through acceptance testing. Basically, it's run against a suite of inputs,
and output is compared with known good prior results. Differences are reported, and either expose a
regression or bug, or new proper behavior. In the case of a validated new set of outputs, the
known-good output is updated.
To perform a test, run test.cmd from the command line at the root of this project. This tool
requires that you have diff.exe on your execution path.
