*************
format_time()
*************
Purpose
=======
.. note::
This is EXPERIMENTAL code - it may be removed or altered in
later versions than 8.30.0. Please watch the ChangeLog closely for
updates.
Converts a UNIX timestamp to a formatted RFC 3164 or RFC 3339 date/time string.
The first parameter is expected to be an integer value representing the number of
seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:0Z (UNIX epoch). The second parameter can be one of
``"date-rfc3164"`` or ``"date-rfc3339"``. The output is a string containing
the formatted date/time. Date/time strings are expressed in **UTC** (no time zone
conversion is provided).
.. note::
If the input to the function is NOT a proper UNIX timestamp, a string
containing the original value of the parameter will be returned instead of a
formatted date/time string.
Example
=======
RFC 3164 timestamp
------------------
In the following example the integer representing a UNIX timestamp is
formatted to a rfc-3164 date/time string.
.. code-block:: none
format_time(1507165811, "date-rfc3164")
produces
.. code-block:: none
Oct 5 01:10:11
Wrong input
-----------
In the following example a wrong parameter is given which can't be
formatted and so it is returned unchanged.
.. code-block:: none
format_time("foo", "date-rfc3164")
produces
.. code-block:: none
foo
