.th CTIME III 10/15/73 .sh NAME ctime, ijtime, localtime \*- convert date and time to ASCII .sh SYNOPSIS .ft B char *ctime(tvec) .br long tvec; .s3 .ft R [from Fortran] .br .ft B double precision ctime .br .li ... = ctime(dummy) .s3 char *ijtime() .s3 int *localtime(tvec) .br long tvec; .sh DESCRIPTION .it Ctime converts a time in the long int .it tvec such as returned by time (II) into ASCII and returns a pointer to a character string in the form .s3 Sun Sep 16 01:03:52 1973\\n\\0 .s3 All the fields have constant width. .s3 .it Ijtime returns a character string similar to the above, giving the present system time. .s3 The .it localtime entry returns a pointer to an integer vector containing the broken-down time. The value is a pointer to an array whose components are .s3 .lp +5 5 0 seconds .lp +5 5 1 minutes .lp +5 5 2 hours .lp +5 5 3 day of the month (1-31) .lp +5 5 4 month (0-11) .lp +5 5 5 year \*- 1900 .lp +5 5 6 day of the week (Sunday = 0) .lp +5 5 7 day of the year (0-365) .lp +5 5 8 Daylight Saving Time flag if non-zero .i0 .s3 A routine named .it ctime is also available from Fortran. Actually it more resembles the .it time (II) system entry in that it returns the number of seconds since the epoch 0000 GMT Jan. 1, 1970 (as a floating-point number). .sh "SEE ALSO" time(II) .sh AUTHOR Ian Johnstone (University of New South Wales) .sh BUGS
