The following example converts a time to an ASCII string that expresses the time in the time zone where the timestamp was generated. utc_t evnt; char localTime[UTC_MAX_STR_LEN]; /* * Assuming that evnt contains the timestamp to convert, convert * the time to ASCII in the following format: * * 1991-04-01-12:27:38.37-8:00I2.00 */ utc_ascanytime(localtime, /* Out: Converted time */ UTC_MAX_STR_LEN, /* In: Length of string */ &evnt); /* In: Time to convert */
