Defined in packages/acs-tcl/tcl/utilities-procs.tcl

Formats past time intervals in one of three different modes depending on age. The first mode is "1 hour 3 minutes" and is NOT currently internationalized. The second mode is e.g. "14:10, Thursday" and is internationalized. The third mode is "14:10, 01 Mar 2001" and is internationalized. Both the locale and the exact format string for modes 2 and 3 can be overridden by parameters. (Once mode 1 is i18nd, the following sentence will be true:'In mode 1, only the locale can be overridden.' Until then, move along. These aren't the timestamps you're looking for.)

Switches:

-timestamp_ansi (required)

The older timestamp in full ANSI: YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS

-sysdate_ansi (required)

The newer timestamp.

-hours_limit (optional, defaults to "12")

The upper limit, in hours, for mode 1.

-days_limit (optional, defaults to "3")

The upper limit, in days, for mode 2.

-mode_2_fmt (optional, defaults to "%X, %A")

A formatting string, as per lc_time_fmt, for mode 2

-mode_3_fmt (optional, defaults to "%X, %d %b %Y")

A formatting string, as per lc_time_fmt, for mode 3

-locale (optional)

If present, overrides the default locale

Returns:

Interval between timestamp and sysdate, as localized text string.
