ctime, ctime_r - convert a time value to a date and time string
Návod, kniha: POSIX Programmer's Manual
#include <time.h>
char *ctime(const time_t *
clock);
char *ctime_r(const time_t *clock, char
*buf);
For
ctime(): The functionality described on this reference page is
aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements
described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 defers to the ISO C standard.
The
ctime() function shall convert the time pointed to by
clock,
representing time in seconds since the Epoch, to local time in the form of a
string. It shall be equivalent to:
asctime(localtime(clock))
The
asctime(),
ctime(),
gmtime(), and
localtime()
functions shall return values in one of two static objects: a broken-down time
structure and an array of
char. Execution of any of the functions may
overwrite the information returned in either of these objects by any of the
other functions.
The
ctime() function need not be reentrant. A function that is not
required to be reentrant is not required to be thread-safe.
The
ctime_r() function shall convert the calendar time pointed to by
clock to local time in exactly the same form as
ctime() and put
the string into the array pointed to by
buf (which shall be at least 26
bytes in size) and return
buf.
Unlike
ctime(), the thread-safe version
ctime_r() is not required
to set
tzname.
The
ctime() function shall return the pointer returned by
asctime() with that broken-down time as an argument.
Upon successful completion,
ctime_r() shall return a pointer to the
string pointed to by
buf. When an error is encountered, a null pointer
shall be returned.
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
None.
Values for the broken-down time structure can be obtained by calling
gmtime() or
localtime(). The
ctime() function is included
for compatibility with older implementations, and does not support localized
date and time formats. Applications should use the
strftime() function
to achieve maximum portability.
The
ctime_r() function is thread-safe and shall return values in a
user-supplied buffer instead of possibly using a static data area that may be
overwritten by each call.
None.
None.
