I have a function that returns today's date/time at 00:00:00, e.g.,
2025-07-24T00:00:00, returned as seconds:
 
proc start_of_day {} {
    clock scan "[clock format now -format %Y]-[clock format now \
            -format %m]-[clock format now -format %d]" -format "%Y-%m-%d"
}
 
Is there a better way?

 
proc start_of_day {} {
  return [clock format [clock seconds] -format "%Y-%m-%dT00:00:00"]
}

Ah, missed the "returned as seconds".

proc start_of_day {} {
  return [clock scan [clock format [clock seconds] -format "%Y-%m-%dT00:00:00"] -format %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S]
}
