Asctime (represents the time and date in string format)
Related functions	Time, ctime, gmtime, localtime
Header file	# Include <time. h>
Define functions	Char * asctime (const struct TM * timeptr );
Function Description	Asctime () converts the information in the TM structure referred to by the timeptr parameter to the time and date representation method used in the real world, and then returns the result in string form. This function has been converted from the time zone to the local time. The string format is "wed Jun 30 21:49:08 1993/N"
Return Value	If you call the related time and date functions again, this string may be damaged. The difference between this function and ctime is that the input parameters are different structures.
Additional instructions	Returns a string representing the current local time and date.
Example	# Include <time. h> Main () { Time_t timep; Time (& timep ); Printf ("% s", asctime (gmtime (& timep ))); }
Run	Sat Oct 28 02:10:06 2000
	Ctime (Representation of time and date in string format)
Related functions	Time, asctime, gmtime, localtime
Header file	# Include <time. h>
Define functions	Char * ctime (const time_t * timep );
Function Description	Ctime () converts the information in the time_t structure referred to by the timep parameter to the time and date representation method used in the real world, and then returns the result in string form. This function has been converted from the time zone to the local time. The string format is "wed Jun 30 21: 49: 08 1993/N ". If you call the related time and date functions again, this string may be damaged.
Return Value	Returns a string representing the current local time and date.
Example	# Include <time. h> Main () { Time_t timep; Time (& timep ); Printf ("% s", ctime (& timep )); }
Run	Sat Oct 28 10: 12: 05 2000
	Gettimeofday (get current time)
Related functions	Time, ctime, ftime, settimeofday
Header file	# Include <sys/time. h> # Include <unistd. h>
Define functions	Int gettimeofday (struct timeval * TV, struct timezone * tz)
Function Description	Gettimeofday () will return the current time with the structure indicated by TV, and put the information of the local time zone in the structure indicated by tz. The timeval structure is defined: Struct timeval { Long TV _sec;/* seconds */ Long TV _usec;/* microseconds */ }; The timezone structure is defined: Struct timezone { Int tz_minuteswest;/* the time difference between Greenwich and */ Int tz_dsttime;/* state of daylight saving time */ }; The above two structures are defined in/usr/include/sys/time. h. The status of tz_dsttime is as follows: Dst_none/* not used */ Dst_usa/* United States */ Dst_aust/* Australia */ Dst_wet/* Western Europe */ Dst_met/* Central Europe */ Dst_eet/* Eastern Europe */ Dst_can/* Canada */ Dst_gb/* Great Britain */ Dst_rum/* Romania */ Dst_tur/* Turkey */ Dst_austalt/* Australia (after January 1, 1986 )*/
Return Value	If the call succeeds, 0 is returned. If the call fails,-1 is returned. The error code is stored in errno. Note that the memory space specified by the efault pointer TV and TZ exceeds the access permission.
Example	# Include <sys/time. h> # Include <unistd. h> Main (){ Struct timeval TV; Struct timezone TZ; Gettimeofday (& TV, & Tz ); Printf ("TV _sec; % d/N", TV,. TV _sec ); Printf ("TV _usec; % d/N", TV. TV _usec ); Printf ("tz_minuteswest; % d/N", tz. tz_minuteswest ); Printf ("tz_dsttime, % d/N", tz. tz_dsttime ); }
Run	TV _sec: 974857339 TV _usec: 136996 Tz_minuteswest:-540 Tz_dsttime: 0
	Gmtime (get current time and date)
Related functions	Time, asctime, ctime, localtime
Header file	# Include <time. h>
Define functions	Struct TM * gmtime (const time_t * timep );
Function Description	Gmtime () converts the information in the time_t structure referred to by the timep parameter to the time and date representation method used in the real world, and then returns the result from the structure TM. The structure TM is defined Struct TM { Int tm_sec; Int tm_min; Int tm_hour; Int tm_mday; Int tm_mon; Int tm_year; Int tm_wday; Int tm_yday; Int tm_isdst; }; Int tm_sec indicates the current number of seconds. The normal range is 0-59, but the value can be 61 seconds. Int tm_min indicates the current score, range: 0-59 Int tm_hour, which is counted from midnight, ranges from 0 to 23. The number of days in the current month of int tm_mday, ranging from 01 to 31. Int tm_mon indicates the current month. The value ranges from 0 to 11 from January 1, January. Int tm_year: The number of years since January 1, 1900 The number of days in a week for int tm_wday. The value ranges from 0 to 6 from Monday. Int tm_yday indicates the number of days since January 1, January 1 this year. The value range is 0-365. Int tm_isdst time saving flag The time and date returned by this function are not converted by the time zone, but UTC time.
Return Value	The returned structure TM indicates the current UTC time.
Example	# Include <time. h> Main (){ Char * wday [] = {"sun", "mon", "Tue", "wed", "Thu", "fri", "sat "}; Time_t timep; Struct TM * P; Time (& timep ); P = gmtime (& timep ); Printf ("% d", (1900 + P-> tm_year), (1 + P-> tm_mon), p-> tm_mday ); Printf ("% S % d; % d/N", wday [p-> tm_wday], p-> tm_hour, p-> tm_min, p-> tm_sec ); }

Define functions	Struct TM * localtime (const time_t * timep );
Function Description	Localtime () converts the information in the time_t structure referred to by the timep parameter to the time and date representation method used in the real world, and then returns the result from the TM structure. For the definition of the structure TM, see gmtime (). The time date returned by this function has been converted to the local time zone.

Header file	# Include <time. h>
Define functions	Time_t mktime (strcut TM * timeptr );

Header file	# Include <sys/time. h> # Include <unistd. h>
Define functions	Int settimeofday (const struct timeval * TV, const struct timezone * tz );
Function Description	Settimeofday () sets the current time to the structure information indicated by TV, and the local time zone information to the structure indicated by tz. For more information, see gettimeofday (). Note: Only the root permission can use this function to modify the time.
Return Value	If the call succeeds, 0 is returned. If the call fails,-1 is returned. The error code is stored in errno.
Error Code	The root permission of eperm is not enough to call settimeofday. The einval time zone or data is incorrect and the time cannot be set correctly.

Header file	# Include <time. h>
Define functions	Time_t time (time_t * t );
Function Description	This function returns the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 ad utc time since 00:00:00. If t is not a null pointer, this function also saves the returned value to the memory indicated by T pointer.
Return Value	The number of seconds is returned for success, and (time_t)-1) is returned for failure. The cause of the error is stored in errno.
Example	# Include <time. h> Mian () { Int seconds = Time (time_t *) null ); Printf ("% d/N", seconds ); }
