The C time asctime() function is used to return a pointer to the string which contains the information of the day and time of the structure struct timeptr. It takes a pointer to tm object as its parameter and returns a text representation for a given calendar time. This function is defined in header file.

Syntax:

Parameter Values

Timeptr: It is a pointer to tm structure that contains a calendar time broken down into its components.

Here is an example of asctime() function:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
int main () 
{
struct tm t;
t.tm_sec    = 10;
t.tm_min    = 10;
t.tm_hour   = 6;
t.tm_mday   = 25;
t.tm_mon    = 2;
t.tm_year   = 89;
t.tm_wday   = 6;
puts(asctime(&t));
return(0);
}

Example-2

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
int main () 
{
struct tm t;
t.tm_sec    = 32;
t.tm_min    = 23;
t.tm_hour   = 4;
t.tm_mday   = 12;
t.tm_mon    = 4;
t.tm_year   = 20;
t.tm_wday   = 5;
puts(asctime(&t));
return(0);
}
