dt_lite_iso8601(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self)
{
long n = 0;
rb_check_arity(argc, 0, 1);
if (argc >= 1)
n = NUM2LONG(argv[0]);
return rb_str_append(strftimev("%Y-%m-%d", self, set_tmx),
iso8601_timediv(self, n));
}
This method is equivalent to strftime(‘%FT%T%:z’). The optional argument n is the number of digits for fractional seconds.
Example
DateTime.parse('2001-02-03T04:05:06.123456789+07:00').iso8601(9) #=> "2001-02-03T04:05:06.123456789+07:00"
