GNU Info (libc.info)Time Functions ExampleTime Functions Example ---------------------- Here is an example program showing the use of some of the calendar time functions. #include <time.h> #include <stdio.h> #define SIZE 256 int main (void) { char buffer[SIZE]; time_t curtime; struct tm *loctime; /* Get the current time. */ curtime = time (NULL); /* Convert it to local time representation. */ loctime = localtime (&curtime); /* Print out the date and time in the standard format. */ fputs (asctime (loctime), stdout); /* Print it out in a nice format. */ strftime (buffer, SIZE, "Today is %A, %B %d.\n", loctime); fputs (buffer, stdout); strftime (buffer, SIZE, "The time is %I:%M %p.\n", loctime); fputs (buffer, stdout); return 0; } It produces output like this: Wed Jul 31 13:02:36 1991 Today is Wednesday, July 31. The time is 01:02 PM. |
