Declaration

size_t strftime(char* cpOutput, 
                size_t qMaxSize, 
                const char* kcpFormat,
                const tm* kqpTimePtr);

Description

Example

int main() {
    using namespace std;

    time_t qTime;
    tm* qpTimeSpec;
    // Get the number of seconds since midnight Jan. 1, 1970
    time(&qTime);
    // Convert the seconds to a tm struct variable
    qpTimeSpec = gmtime(&qTime);
    
    char caTime[100];
    size_t qActualLength = strftime(caTime, 100, "%I:%M %p", qpTimeSpec);
    cout << "Written length = " << qActualLength << endl;
    cout << "Time = " << caTime << endl;

    return 0;
}
