date format

[Graham Waters <waters@triumf.ca>]

I notice the output format for date() for R3.14 is difference from 
R3.13. In detail
tsStampToText() is replaced by epicsTimeToStrftime(). Is there any 
functionality
somewhere to return the name of the month ("Mar" rather than "03").

For the moment I am doing something like this in a R3.14.8.2 applications.

static char    monthText[] = "JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec";
epicsTimeStamp now;
char nowText[40], monthText[6];
int imonth

epicsTimeGetCurrent(&now);
epicsTimeToStrftime(nowText,sizeof(nowText);
       "%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S.%06f",&now);            /* Get time string */

  sscanf(&nowText[5],"%d",&imonth);            /* extract month as an 
integer */
  sprintf(monthText,"%3.3s",&monthText[ (imonth-1)*3]); /* convert to 
month name  */
