Overview

shfdate parses and generates Short Human Friendly DATE strings.

shfdate is YYMMDD.HHMMSS for years in 2000..2100 and YYYYMMDD.HHMMSS for everything else. In the YYMMDD case the "zero" suffixes can be omitted. 20250101, 20250101.00, 250101, 250101.00, 250101.0000, 250101.000000 all represent the same 2025-01-01 00:00:00 time. Note that the truncation only affects the time part. "25" and "2501" don't parse, it would be too hard to recognize these as dates for the humans.

Functions

func Parse

func Parse(s string, loc *time.Location) (time.Time, error)

Parse parses a string containing an shfdate or returns an error. Out of bound components are normalized. The time location `loc` can be nil in which case the local location is used.

func String

func String(t time.Time) string

String formats `t` into a string.
