generate(
char* buffer,
ssize_t bufferLength,
bsls::TimeInterval const& object);Write the ISO 8601 representation of the specified object to the specified buffer of the specified bufferLength (in bytes), truncating (if necessary) to bufferLength. Optionally specify a configuration to affect the format of the generated string. If configuration is not supplied, the process-wide default value Iso8601UtilConfiguration::defaultConfiguration() is used. Return the number of characters in the formatted string before truncation (not counting a null terminator). If bufferLength indicates sufficient capacity, buffer is null terminated. The behavior is undefined unless 0 <= bufferLength. Note that a buffer of size k_MAX_STRLEN + 1 is large enough to hold any string generated by this component (counting a null terminator, if any).
