#include <time.h>
char *_strtime(char *time);

Language Level: Extension
_strtime copies the current time into the buffer that time points to. The format is:

For example, the string 18:23:44 represents 23 minutes and 44 seconds past 6 p.m.

The buffer must be at least 9 bytes.

_strtime returns a pointer to the buffer. There is no error return.

Example
This example prints the current time:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
int main(void)
{
   char buffer[9];
   printf("The current time is %s \n", _strtime(buffer));
   return 0;
   /*****************************************************
      The output should be similar to:
      The current time is 16:47:22
   *****************************************************/
}
