The asctimefunction in C language Converts a time structure to a string representation.
The asctime function converts a time structure (struct tm) to a string representation. It returns a pointer to a static character string of the form: 'Day Mon dd hh:mm:ss yyyy\n'. Note that this function is not thread-safe as it returns a pointer to a static buffer. For a thread-safe version, consider using asctime_r or strftime.
The asctimefunction takes 1
parameter:
•
const struct tm * `timeptr`: Pointer to a `struct tm` representing broken-down time
Converts a `struct tm` time to a human-readable string in the format 'Day Mon DD HH:MM:SS YYYY\n'.
The asctime function return value :
Returns a pointer to a null-terminated string containing the date and time information in a standard format
This pointer is to a static buffer that may be overwritten by subsequent calls to asctime
Output
This example demonstrates the basic usage of the `asctime` function to convert the current local time to a string representation.
