asctime

Converts time from a structure to a string.

char *asctime( const struct tm *tmTime);

Under Linux, asctime is not thread-safe. Use asctime_r, instead. Refer to your platform-specific documentation for details.

Return Values

A pointer to the string containing the date and time information in readable format.

Example

The following example gets the time as a time_t structure and converts it to a tm structure, gmt, in Coordinated Universal Time. asctime then takes gmt and converts it to a string.

    #include <time.h>
		

    time_t t;

    struct tm *gmt;

    time(&t);

    gmt = (struct tm *)gmtime(&t);

    lr_message ("Coordinated universal time:\t\t%s", asctime(gmt));

Example: 
				Output: 
Coordinated universal time:        Sun Apr 21 15:31:06 2002
