Time 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.
