;;; Commentary:

;; A template in a file can be updated with a new time stamp when
;; you save the file.  For example:
;;     static char *ts = "sdmain.c Time-stamp: <1996-08-13 10:20:51 gildea>";
;; See the top of `time-stamp.el' for another example.

;; To use time-stamping, add this line to your .emacs file:
;;     (add-hook 'write-file-hooks 'time-stamp)
;; Now any time-stamp templates in your files will be updated automatically.

;; See the documentation for the functions `time-stamp'
;; and `time-stamp-toggle-active' for details.

;;; Change Log:

;; Originally based on the 19 Dec 88 version of
;;   date.el by John Sturdy <mcvax!harlqn.co.uk![e-mail]>
;; Version 2, January 1995: replaced functions with %-escapes
;; $Id: time-stamp.el,v 1.5 1996/08/13 18:03:17 gildea Exp $

;;; Code:

(defvar time-stamp-active t
  "*Non-nil to enable time-stamping of buffers by \\[time-stamp].
Can be toggled by \\[time-stamp-toggle-active].
See also the variable `time-stamp-warn-inactive'.")

(defvar time-stamp-warn-inactive t
  "Non-nil to have \\[time-stamp] warn if a buffer did not get time-stamped.
A warning is printed if `time-stamp-active' is nil and the buffer contains
a time stamp template that would otherwise have been updated.")

(defvar time-stamp-old-format-warn 'ask
  "Action to take if `time-stamp-format' is an old-style list.
If 'error, the format is not used.  If 'ask, the user is queried about
using the time-stamp-format.  If 'warn, a warning is displayed.
If nil, no notification is given.")

(defvar time-stamp-format "%y-%02m-%02d %02H:%02M:%02S %u"
  "*Format of the string inserted by \\[time-stamp].
Value may be a string or a list.  (Lists are supported only for
backward compatibility; see variable `time-stamp-old-format-warn'.)
A string is used verbatim except for character sequences beginning with %:

%a  weekday name: `Monday'.		%A gives uppercase: `MONDAY'
%b  month name: `January'.		%B gives uppercase: `JANUARY'
%d  day of month
%H  24-hour clock hour
%I  12-hour clock hour
%m  month number
%M  minute
%p  `am' or `pm'.			%P gives uppercase: `AM' or `PM'
%S  seconds
%w  day number of week, Sunday is 0
%y  year: `1995'
%z  time zone name: `est'.		%Z gives uppercase: `EST'

Non-date items:
%%  a literal percent character: `%'
%f  file name without directory		%F gives absolute pathname
%s  system name
%u  user's login name
%h  mail host name

Decimal digits between the % and the type character specify the
field width.  Strings are truncated on the right; numbers on the left.
A leading zero causes numbers to be zero-filled.

For example, to get the format used by the `date' command,
use \"%3a %3b %2d %02H:%02M:%02S %Z %y\"")
