.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBcktime\fR 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.
.sp
.LP
All messages are limited in length to 70 characters and are formatted
automatically. Any white space used in the definition (including \fBNEWLINE)\fR
is stripped. The \fB-W\fR 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.
.sp
.LP
If the prompt, help or error message is not defined, the default message (as
defined under \fBNOTES\fR) is displayed.
.sp
.LP
Three visual tool modules are linked to the \fBcktime\fR command. They are
\fBerrtime\fR (which formats and displays an error message), \fBhelptime\fR
(which formats and displays a help message), and \fBvaltime\fR (which validates
a response). These modules should be used in conjunction with  \fBFML\fR
objects. In this instance, the \fBFML\fR object defines the prompt. When
\fBformat\fR is defined in the \fBerrtime\fR and \fBhelptime\fR modules, the
messages will describe the expected format.
.SH OPTIONS
.sp
.LP
The following options are supported:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-d\fR\fI default\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 14n
Defines the default value as \fIdefault\fR. The default is not validated and so
does not have to meet any criteria.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-e\fR \fIerror\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 14n
Defines the error message as \fIerror\fR.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-f\fR \fIformat\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 14n
Specifies the format against which the input will be verified. Possible formats
and their definitions are:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
\fB%H\fR  =  hour (00 - 23)
\fB%I\fR  =  hour (00 - 12)
\fB%M\fR  =  minute (00 - 59)
\fB%p\fR  =  ante meridian or post meridian
\fB%r\fR  =  time as \fB%I:%M:%S %p\fR
\fB%R\fR  =  time as \fB%H:%M\fR (the default format)
\fB%S\fR  =  seconds (00 - 59)
\fB%T\fR  =  time as \fB%H:%M:%S\fR

the return code \fB3\fR. The \fBvaltime\fR module will not produce any output.
It returns  \fB0\fR for success and non-zero for failure.
