Re: [Dev-C++] Re: Time Display

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

If you look into dos.h, you'll notice that it doesn't contain any time
handling functions or structures, so obviously the compiler doesn't have
the faintest what "struct dos_date_t" is.

If you on the other hand take a look into time.h, you'll find a lot of
standard time-handling functions and structures there.

#include <iostream>
#include <time.h>

time_t t;
struct tm *local;

// alt 1
t = time(NULL);
cout << ctime(&t);

// alt 2
t = time(NULL);
local = localtime(&t);
std::cout << "local time is " << asctime(local);
std::cout << "gmt time is " << asctime(gmtime(&t));

std::cout << "current year is " << localtime.tm_year;
