- title: "Dates"
body: |
- The `strptime(fmt)` function parses input strings matching the
- `fmt` argument. The output is an array of eight numbers: the
- year, the month, the day of the month, the hour of the day,
- the minute of the hour, the second of the minute, the day of
- the week, and the day of the year, all zero-based except for
- the year and the month, which are one-based.
+ jq provides some basic date handling functionality, with some
+ high-level and low-level builtins. In all cases these
+ builtins deal exclusively with time in UTC.
- The `mktime` function consumes outputs from `strptime/1` and
- produces the time in seconds since the Unix epoch.
+ The `fromdateiso8601` builtin parses datetimes in the ISO 8601
+ format to a number of seconds since the Unix epoch
+ (1970-01-01T00:00:00Z). The `todateiso8601` builtin does the
+ inverse.
+
+ The `fromdate` builtin parses datetime strings. Currently
+ `fromdate` only supports ISO 8601 datetime strings, but in the
+ future it will attempt to parse datetime strings in more
+ formats.
+
+ The `todate` builtin is an alias for `todateiso8601`.
+
+ The `now` builtin outputs the current time, in seconds since
+ the Unix epoch.
+
+ Low-level jq interfaces to the C-library time functions are
+ also provided: `strptime`, `strftime`, `mktime`, and `gmtime`.
+ Refer to your host operating system's documentation for the
+ format strings used by `strptime` and `strftime`. Note: these
+ are not necessarily stable interfaces in jq, particularly as
+ to their localization functionality.
+
+ The `gmtime` builtin consumes a number of seconds since the
+ Unix epoch and outputs a "broken down time" representation of
+ time as an array of numbers representing (in this order): the
+ year, the month (zero-based), the day of the month, the hour
+ of the day, the minute of the hour, the second of the minute,
+ the day of the week, and the day of the year -- all one-based
+ unless otherwise stated.
+
+ The `mktime` builtin consumes "broken down time"
+ representations of time output by `gmtime` and `strptime`.
+
+ The `strptime(fmt)` builtin parses input strings matching the
+ `fmt` argument. The output is in the "broken down time"
+ representation consumed by `gmtime` and output by `mktime`.
+
+ The `strftime(fmt)` builtin formats a time with the given
+ format.
+
+ The format strings for `strptime` and `strftime` are described
+ in typical C library documentation. The format string for ISO
+ 8601 datetime is `"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ"`.
+
+ jq may not support some or all of this date functionality on
+ some systems.
