ctime

 NAME
  ctime - convert time into standard text

 SYNOPSIS
  char *str = ctime(&t);
  time_t t;

 FUNCTION
  ctime converts a time pointer into ascii text using the following
  format:

      Sun Dec 8 01:53:33 1987n0

  where n stands for a newline character and 0 is terminating
  nul.

  The string is stored in a static buffer shared by both asctime and
  ctime and so will get overwritten whenever either function is
  called.

 EXAMPLE
  /*
   *  since the string returned by ctime already has a newline on
   *  it we use fputs instead puts.
   */

  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <time.h>

  main()
  {
      time_t t = time(NULL);
      fputs(ctime(&t), stdout);
      return(0);
  }

 INPUTS
  time_t *t;  pointer to a time_t value

 RESULTS
  char *str;  pointer to static string
