Hi
I am going to be programming a database that will have events set up on specific days. If its a cetain number of days prior to the event, certain actions cannot be performed.
Is there any way I can get the system time from the computer?
What can I look up in the man pages?
I will be using ANSI C.
Thanks

Look for time.h at http://www.cppreference.com/ and http://www.cplusplus.com/ref
Naturally I didn't feel inspired enough to read all the links for you, since I already slaved away for long hours under a blistering sun pressing the search button after typing four whole words! - Quzah

Try asctime. That will return a string containing the day of the week, day, and year. Perhaps that's what you need.
I haven't used a compiler in ages, so please be gentle as I try to reacclimate myself. :P
strftime is similar to asctime, but it allows you to set your own template for the output.
