Sun Java System Messaging Server 6 2005Q4 MTA Developer's Reference

Description

This routine generates an RFC 2822 compliant date and time string suitable for use in an RFC 822 Date: header line. To generate a date and time string for a specific time, supply the time as the time argument. Otherwise, supply a value of 0 for the time argument and a date and time string will be generated for the current local time.

On successful completion, the date and time string is stored in the buffer pointed at by the date argument, and the value of the date argument is returned.
