CFTIME(3)		 BSD Library Functions Manual		     CFTIME(3)

NAME
     cftime ascftime ā€” convert date and time to string

LIBRARY
     Compatibility Library (libcompat, -lcompat)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <time.h>

     int
     cftime(char *s, char *format, const time_t *clock);

     int
     ascftime(char *s, const char *format, const struct tm *tmptr);

DESCRIPTION
     The cftime() and ascftime() functions are made obsolete by strftime(3).

     Use of the functions cftime() and ascftime() is strongly deprecated,
     since there is no way to check for a buffer overflow condition.  Use
     strftime(3) instead.

     Ascftime() is almost identical with strftime(3), with the only exception
     there's no parameter to tell about the maximal buffer length, and the
     format parameter defaults to ā€œ%Cā€ if a NULL pointer is given.

     Cftime() does the same job, but it first invokes localtime(3) in order to
     convert the given clock, then also performs the conversions as requested
     by the format argument.

RETURN VALUES
     The cftime() and ascftime() functions return the number of characters
     written to the output buffer s, not counting the trailing null character.

SEE ALSO
     localtime(3), strftime(3)
