NAME

       scan_iso8601 - parse an ISO-8601 timestamp

SYNTAX

       #include <libowfat/scan.h>

       size_t scan_iso8601(const char *src,struct timespec *dest);

DESCRIPTION

       scan_iso8601 parses a timestamp as defined in ISO-8601 into a struct timespec.  It returns
       the number of bytes read from src (0 for parse error).

       scan_iso8601  supports  input  timestamps  in  time  zones  other  than  UTC  even  though
       fmt_iso8601 does not. Note that the returned time_t is always in UTC, even if a local time
       was given.
