Subject: man/man3/strftime.3: EXAMPLES: Validate number of arguments
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e2d3f14fe40ad90a1fedf0fcd27e6cc896c49a7a;p=thirdparty%2Fman-pages.git

man/man3/strftime.3: EXAMPLES: Validate number of arguments

The strftime example requires a format paramter.  If you don't pass one,
it crashes.  Check for the parameter.
