asctime()

Convert a tm structure to a character array.

  #include <time.h>
  
  char *asctime(const struct tm *t);

Parameter

t

A pointer to a tm structure describing the time and date to convert.

Remarks

This function converts a tm structure, pointed to by t, to a character array. The asctime() and ctime() functions use the same calendar time format. This format, expressed as a strftime() format string is " %a %b %e %H:%M: %S %Y".

The function returns a null-terminated character array pointer containing the textual representation of the date and time described by t.

This facility may not be available on some configurations of the EWL.

Listing: Example of asctime() Usage


#include <time.h>

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)

{

time_t systime;

struct tm *currtime;

systime = time(NULL);

currtime = localtime(&systime);

puts(asctime(currtime));

return 0;

}

Output:
