Function Documentation

mtime()

char * mtime

(

void

)

Generates a formatted time string.

This function returns a compact local time string.

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.

          timeBreakdown.tm_hour,
          timeBreakdown.tm_min);
  return (mt);
}

mtimes()

char * mtimes

(

void

)

Generates a detailed formatted time string.

This function returns a compact local time string including seconds.

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.
