Use +.Xr strftime 3 +instead. + +.Nm Ascftime +is almost identical with +.Xr strftime 3 , +with the only exception there's no parameter to tell about the +maximal buffer length, and the +.Fa format +parameter defaults to +.Dq %C +if a +.Em NULL +pointer is given. + +.Nm Cftime +does the same job, but it first invokes +.Xr localtime 3 +in order to convert the given +.Fa clock , +then also performs the conversions as requested by the +.Fa format +argument. + +.Sh RETURN VALUES +The +.Nm cftime +and +.Nm ascftime +functions return the number of characters written to the output +buffer +.Fa s , +not counting the trailing null character. + +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr localtime 3 , +.Xr strftime 3 . |
