asctime

char *asctime (const struct tm *timeStruct);

Purpose

Takes a date and time stored in a struct tm and converts it into a string. asctime returns a pointer to the string created by the function. You can obtain the local date and time in a struct tm by calling one of the following functions:

• time
• localtime

Note  Per the C89 specification, this function and the ctime function return a pointer to the same static array of char. Using these functions in conjunction with each other might result in overwriting the previous value of the timeString parameter.
