pmCtime
is very similar to
ctime(3),
except the timezone used is the current ``reporting timezone'' (rather than the
default
TZ
environment variable scheme), and the result is returned into a
caller-declared buffer (rather than a private buffer).
Like
ctime(3)
the time to be converted is passed via
clock,
and
the result in
buf
is fixed width fields in the format:
Fri Sep 13 00:00:00 1986\n\0
The result buffer
buf
must be at least 26 bytes long, and no attempt is made to check this.
pmCtime
returns
buf
as the value of the function.
The default current reporting timezone is as defined by the
TZ
environment variable, so
pmCtime
and
ctime(3)
will initially produce similar encoding of the date and time.
