The <timeptr> value is usually obtained from a call to the gmtime or localtime function, both of which return a pointer to a tm structure. See: tm The string result produced by asctime contains exactly 26 characters. It has the form of the following example: Wed Jan 02 02:03:55 1990\n\0 A 24-hour clock is used. All fields have a constant width. The newline character (\n) and the null character (\0) occupy the last two positions of the string. The asctime function uses a single statically allocated buffer to hold the return string. Each call to this routine destroys the result of the previous call. Return Value The asctime function returns a pointer to the character string result. There is no error return. -♦-
