TIP? %F for clock format

[Cecil Westerhof]

I started working with TCL and I like it a lot. Much better as Bash
what I was using a lot. But I am used to use %F with date. From the
man page:
%F full date; same as %Y-%m-%d

Could that be added?

By the way: very nice that the switch does not need a break. ;-)

In the meantime, you can have it straight away:

set F %Y-%m-%d
clock format [clock seconds] -format $F

A better version contributed by emiliano on the Tcl Chat. By the way, I recommend you to visit it... (http://wiki.tcl.tk/2619)

catch {clock format}
rename ::tcl::clock::format ::tcl::clock::_format
proc ::tcl::clock::format {clockval args} {
if {([llength $args] % 2 == 0) && "-format" in [dict keys $args]} {
dict set args -format \
[string map {%F {%Y-%m-%d}} [dict get $args -format]]
}
tailcall _format $clockval {*}$args
}

$ clock format [clock seconds] -format %F
