53 Convert tm structure to string.
54 Converts data pointed by tim_p to a string containing time and date in readable format.
55 @return A pointer to the string containing the date
56 and time information in readable format.
57 The string pointed is statically allocated and
58 shared by ctime and asctime functions.
59 Each time one of these functions is called the content of the string is overwritten.
60 @param tim_p Pointer to tm structure containing time and date information to be converted.
63 asctime (const struct tm *tim_p)
65 return asctime_r (tim_p, _REENT->_asctime);
