TermCode Perl Module
Creates representations for the term a given month and year belongs to. To see representations for the current term, run the
termcode program on the command-line with the appropriate arguments.
The following term codes can be produced for the term spanning January 2010 to April 2010:
| Representation |
Name |
Description |
| 1262322000 |
FMT_TIME |
Seconds since the epoch as of the first second of the first month of term in local time |
| 1001 |
FMT_MFCF |
2-digit year followed by 2-digit starting month; used for classlist files and by ClassListPerlModule |
| 1101 |
FMT_REGISTRAR |
Perl natural year (calendar_year - 1900) followed by 1-digit starting month |
| W10 |
FMT_SHORT |
Letter term identifier followed by 2-digit year |
| Winter 2010 |
FMT_LONG |
Word term identifier followed by a space and a full-digit year |
Note that
FMT_MFCF and
FMT_SHORT ambiguously define the year as only a 2-digit year is used; the other representations do not have this problem.
As of Spring 2010, there should be online documentation and man pages available; at that point, this page should be expanded on in a way that complements this information.
