Function Documentation

mtime()

char * mtime

(

void

)

Generates a formatted time string.

This function returns a more user-friendly time string compared to ctime().

Format Comparison:

• ctime: "wkd mmm dd hh:mm:ss 19yy\n"
• mtime: "dd mmm yy hh:mm"

Returns

A pointer to the newly allocated formatted time string.

  t = ct;
  ct = strchr(ct, ' ');

    *ct++ = 0;
  ptr = strrchr(t, ':');
  *ptr = 0;
 
  sprintf(mt, "%s %s %s %s", day, month, ct + 2, t);
  return (mt);
}

mtimes()

char * mtimes

(

void

)

Generates a detailed formatted time string.

This function returns a more detailed and user-friendly time string compared to ctime().

Format Comparison:

• ctime: "wkd mmm dd hh:mm:ss 19yy\n"
• mtimes: "dd mmm yy hh:mm:ss"

Returns

A pointer to the newly allocated detailed formatted time string.
