Convert a tm structure to a character array.

This function is compatible with the following targets:

ANSI

BeOS

EMB/RTOS

Mac OS

Palm OS

Win32

#include <time.h>

char *asctime(const struct tm *timeptr);

Parameters for this facility are:

timeptr

const struct tm *

A pointer to a tm structure that holds the time information

The asctime() function converts a tm structure, pointed to by timeptr, 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". For example: Tue Apr 4 15:17:23 2000.

asctime() returns a null terminated character array pointer containing the converted tm structure.

"ctime"

"strftime"

#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:
Tue Nov 30 12:56:05 1993
