current time

i am trying to get the current time of day (calender time)

Code:

---

time_t current;
...
time(current);

---

now where would the time be stored as an ascii string. what i really wanna do is send() so i have my own timeserver.

Well, you probably don't want to send the date in string format. Send it/store it as a time_t (unsigned int??). But whatever, use ctime() or similar (you should browse time.h, too...). Remember, that ctime() returns a static buffer that will be overwritten in subsequent calls - be sure to copy the data immediately, and not simply store pointers to the returned strings...

>>now where would the time be stored as an ascii string.
You have to ask for it by way of ctime or localtime

Code:

---

char *timestring = ctime(&current);
