User Commands cktime(1)
NAME
cktime, errtime, helptime, valtime - display a prompt; ver-
ify and return a time of day
SYNOPSIS
cktime [-Q] [-W width] [-f format] [-d default] [-h help]
[-e error] [-p prompt] [ -k pid [-s signal]]
/usr/sadm/bin/errtime [-W width] [-e error] [-f format]
/usr/sadm/bin/helptime [-W width] [-h help] [-f format]
/usr/sadm/bin/valtime [-f format] input
DESCRIPTION
The cktime utility prompts a user and validates the
response. It defines, among other things, a prompt message
whose response should be a time, text for help and error
messages, and a default value (which is returned if the user
responds with a <RETURN>). The user response must match the
defined format for the time of day.
All messages are limited in length to 70 characters and are
formatted automatically. Any white space used in the defini-
tion (including NEWLINE) is stripped. The -W option cancels
the automatic formatting. When a tilde is placed at the
beginning or end of a message definition, the default text
is inserted at that point, allowing both custom text and the
default text to be displayed.
If the prompt, help or error message is not defined, the
default message (as defined under NOTES) is displayed.
Three visual tool modules are linked to the cktime command.
They are errtime (which formats and displays an error mes-
sage), helptime (which formats and displays a help message),
and valtime (which validates a response). These modules
should be used in conjunction with FML objects. In this
instance, the FML object defines the prompt. When format is
defined in the errtime and helptime modules, the messages
will describe the expected format.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-d default Defines the default value as default. The
default is not validated and so does not
have to meet any criteria.

User Commands cktime(1)
-e error Defines the error message as error.
-f format Specifies the format against which the input
will be verified. Possible formats and their
definitions are:
%H = hour (00 - 23)
%I = hour (00 - 12)
%M = minute (00 - 59)
%p = ante meridian or post meridian
%r = time as %I:%M:%S %p
%R = time as %H:%M (the default format)
%S = seconds (00 - 59)
%T = time as %H:%M:%S
-h help Defines the help messages as help.
-k pid Specifies that process ID pid is to be sent
a signal if the user chooses to abort.
-p prompt Defines the prompt message as prompt.
-Q Specifies that quit will not be allowed as a
valid response.
-s signal Specifies that the process ID pid defined
with the -k option is to be sent signal sig-
nal when quit is chosen. If no signal is
specified, SIGTERM is used.
-W width Specifies that prompt, help and error mes-
sages will be formatted to a line length of
width.
