Sigh... I wonder if people actually care to look into the docs before
posting such question.
The following is an excerpt from the libc reference which comes with
DJGPP. After you read it, please tell me: what can be more clear than
this?
asctime
=======
Syntax
------
#include <time.h>
char *asctime(const struct tm *tptr);
Description
-----------
This function returns an ASCII representation of the time represented by
TPTR. The string returned is always 26 characters and has this format:
Sun Jan 01 12:34:56 1993\n\0
The string pointed to is in a static buffer and will be overridden with
each call to asctime. The data should be copied if it needs to be
preserved.
Return Value
------------
A pointer to the string.
Example
-------
time_t now;
time(&now);
printf("The current time is %s", asctime(localtime(&now)));
