strftime, wcsftime

Note: locale support in INtime is limited to the "C" locale

Formats a time string.

#include <time.h>

size_t strftime (char *string, size_t maxsize, 
    const char *format, const struct tm *timedate);

#include <wchar.h>

size_t wcsftime(wchar_t *string, size_t maxsize,
    const wchar_t *format, const struct tm *timedate);

Parameters

string: Output string.
maxsize: Maximum length of string.
format: Format control string; normal characters and format specifications.
timedate: Time/date structure, TM.

Remarks

Format specifications have a preceding percent sign (%); preceding characters are copied unchanged to string. The LC_TIME category of the current locale affects the output formatting of strftime.
