ctime_r pREPC+ System Calls
ctime_r (Reentrant) Converts the calendar time to a string.
#include
char *ctime_r (
const time_t *timer, /* calendar time */
char *buf, /* result buffer */
int buflen /* result buffer length */
)
Description
Arguments
Return Value
Error Codes
ctime_r() is the reentrant version of the ANSI function ctime(), as defined by
POSIX 1003.1c. It converts the calendar time pointed to by timer to a string
representation of the form:
Sun Jan 1 12:30:13 1995\n\0
The time is represented in local time. ctime_r() stores the string in the buffer
pointed to by buf, which is assumed to have space for at most buflen characters.
An error may be returned if the converted string contains more than buflen
characters.
The calendar time is generally obtained through a call to time().
timer Points to the calendar time.
buf Points to the buffer where ctime_r() stores the result.
buflen Specifies the size of buf.
Upon success, asctime_r() returns the value of buf. On failure, it returns NULL
and sets errno.
