);

DESCRIPTION

This routine puts the current time into the buffer time_buff of size max_len. The size must be at least 25. It supports the standard time formatting options (see strftime(3)) via the argument format_str. If format_str is NULL, then the format from ctime is used (same behaviour as get_time()).
