Subject: [Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#296973: octave-forge: weekday has
incorrect documentation
Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2005 23:54:30 -0500
To: Debian Bug Tracking System <submit@bugs.debian.org>
Reply-To: Bill Denney <bill@givebillmoney.com>, 296973@bugs.debian.org
Package: octave-forge
Version: 2004.11.16-3
Severity: minor
The weekday function has incorrect documentation. Its documentation
appears to be a copy of datevec's documentation. The doc at the
beginning should read something like:
--- Begin Documentation
## -*- texinfo -*-
## @deftypefn {Function File} {[d,s] =} weekday(date, [P])
## Takes a date (in either datenum format or a string that datenum can
## parse) and returns the number for the day of the week (0 = "Sun",
## 1 = "Mon", ... , "Sat")
##
## The parameter @code{P} is needed to convert date strings with 2
digit
## years into dates with 4 digit years. 2 digit years are assumed to
be
## between @code{P} and @code{P+99}. If @code{P} is not given then the
## current year - 50 is used, so that dates are centered on the
present.
## For birthdates, you would want @code{P} to be current year - 99.
For
## appointments, you would want @code{P} to be current year.
##
## @seealso{date,clock,now,datestr,datenum,datevec,calendar}
## @end deftypefn
--- End Documentation
Hopefully, I'll be able to submit a patch that will help with making
datevec accept strings soon, too.
