ctime_r(3)                                                       ctime_r(3)

NAME
     ctimer, asctimer, localtimer - thread-safe convert time and date to
     string

SYNOPSIS
     #include <time.h>

     char *ctimer(const timet *clock, char *buf);

     char *asctimer(const struct tm *tm, char *buf);

     struct tm *localtimer(const timet *clock, struct tm *result);

DESCRIPTION
     ctimer(), asctimer() and localtimer() convert the time value
     pointed to by clock and tm resp. in exactly the same form as ctime(),
     asctime() and localtime().

     ctimer() and asctimer() put the result into the array pointed to by
     buf (which contains at least 26 bytes). localtimer() puts the result
     into the structure pointed to by result.

     Unlike ctime() and localtime(), the thread-safe functions ctimer()
     and localtimer() are not required to set tzname.

RETURN VALUE
     Upon successful completion ctimer() and asctimer() return a pointer
     to the string pointed to by buf, localtimer() returns a pointer to
     the structure pointed to by result. When an error is encountered, a
     NULL pointer is returned.

ERRORS
     No errors are defined.
