The function is called by:

CHARACTER ctime*24

string = ctime( stime )

stime

INTEGER*4

Input 

System time from time() (standard version)

Return value 

character*24

Output 

System time as character string. Declare ctime and string as character*24.

The format of the ctime returned value is shown in the following example. It is described in the man page ctime(3C).

Example: ctime():


demo% cat tctime.f
        character*24 ctime, string
        INTEGER*4  n, time
        n = time()
        string = ctime( n )
        write(*,*) ’ctime: ’, string
        end
demo% f95 tctime.f
demo% a.out
