_strtime

Description

Copies the time to a buffer.

#include <time.h>

char *_strtime( char *timestr );

Remarks

The _strtime function copies the current time into the buffer pointed to by timestr. The time is formatted as

hh:mm:ss

where hh is two digits representing the hour in 24-hour notation, mm is two digits representing the minutes past the hour, and ss is two digits representing seconds. For example, the string

18:23:44

represents 23 minutes and 44 seconds past 6:00 PM.

The buffer must be at least nine bytes long.

Return Value

The _strtime function returns a pointer to the resulting text string timestr.
