Example
The following example demonstrates the usage of the asctime() function.
Example
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
int main()
{
struct tm t;
t.tm_sec = 10;
t.tm_min = 10;
t.tm_hour = 6;
t.tm_mday = 25;
t.tm_mon = 2;
t.tm_year = 89;
t.tm_wday = 6;
puts(asctime(&t));
return(0);
}
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
int main()
{
struct tm t;
t.tm_sec = 10;
t.tm_min = 10;
t.tm_hour = 6;
t.tm_mday = 25;
t.tm_mon = 2;
t.tm_year = 89;
t.tm_wday = 6;
puts(asctime(&t));
return(0);
}
