Re: [Libguestfs] [hivex][PATCH] Increase filetime printing resolution to sub-second

I tried using the nstrftime function instead of strftime; strftime didn't seem to recognize %N, even when I included gnulib's strftime.h header. Then the %N format added trailing zeroes I wasn't expecting. Unfortunately, the test-strftime.c file didn't include a test for nanosecond-resolution display, so I wasn't sure if this was a problem with my call or the %N specification. I've produced a patch for gnulib to demonstrate what I was missing, attached. Jim, should I submit it to the bug-gnulib mailing list? It is an additional test that shows what the actual behavior of nstrftime is, though I don't know if that's what the expected behavior is. I would expect 10 nanoseconds to be reported as "0.00000001" seconds, not "0.000000010". The second attached patch uses nstrftime, and gives funny-looking results. For example, here are the first two mtimes of hivexml's output on hivex/images/large, line 1 for the first version of this patch, line 2 using nstrftime: <hive><mtime>2010-02-02T13:42:52.27Z</mtime><node name="$$$PROTO.HIV" root="1"><mtime>2010-02-02T13:42:44.626Z</mtime> <hive><mtime>2010-02-02T13:42:52.270000000Z</mtime><node name="$$$PROTO.HIV" root="1"><mtime>2010-02-02T13:42:44.626000000Z</mtime> I'm partial to the first version's output. --Alex On Oct 14, 2011, at 06:32 , Richard W.M.
