Jump to Postyes, C is full chock full of time functions. just check out the standard <time.h> library
Jump to Postman, you're starting to sound helpless. the link i gave you gives every single time.h function and prototype. a basic search will find examples such as this:
/* localtime example */ #include <stdio.h> #include <time.h> int main () { time_t rawtime; struct tm * …

Well, if you knew they were there, then why did you ask if there were any functions?
how you would display to the screen. Ex: The current date is 07/04/210.
um, okay...
printf("Ex: The current date is 07/04/210.");

man, you're starting to sound helpless. the link i gave you gives every single time.h function and prototype. a basic search will find examples such as this:
/* localtime example */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
int main ()
{
time_t rawtime;
struct tm * timeinfo;
time ( &rawtime );
timeinfo = localtime ( &rawtime );
printf ( "Current local time and date: %s", asctime (timeinfo) );
return 0;
}
