Re: [Dev-C++] QUESTION ABOUT DATE

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

Actually time_t is normally an integer storing number of seconds since
1970.

localtime converts the number of seconds to a struct tm with time adjusted
for time zone and daylight savings.

gmtime converts the same number of seconds to a struct tm filled in with
UTC time, i.e. time-zone GMT without daylight savings.

For some systems, you might also do gettimeofday() to get sub-second time
resolution.
