localtime() - Time Date Function

localtime() converts to local timing by returning a pointer to the broken down time using the "tm" structure. Time and date can be got by calling the "time()" function. The formatted output string returned is stored in a static character array. This array is overwritten by converting when the function is called.

Syntax:

Example :

#include <stdio.h> #include <time.h> int main () { time_t t ; struct tm *ptr; time ( &t ); ptr = localtime ( &t ); printf ( "Current local time :: %s", asctime (ptr) ); return 0; }

Result :
In the above example "localtime()" is used to get local date and using the "asctime()" the current timing is displayed.
