C/C++ Date and Time Functions
size_t strftime(char *strDest, size_t maxsize, const char *format, const struct tm *timeptr);
size_t wcsftime(wchar_t *strDest, size_t maxsize, const wchar_t *format, const struct tm *timeptr);
size_t _tcsftime(TCHAR *strDest, size_t maxsize, const TCHAR *format, const struct tm *timeptr);
Internationalization (I18n) Function Overview
The strftime function formats the value in timeptr, interpreting the specifications in format according to the LC_TIME category of the current locale, and stores resulting string in strDest. The function ensures that no more than maxsize characters, including the terminating null character, are stored in the destination string, and returns either the number of characters stored, or 0 in the event of an error.
wcsftime is the wide-character version of strftime; its arguments are wide-character strings, and it returns the number of wide characters stored.
_tcsftime is the Windows-only Generic version of the function; with the _MBCS or _UNICODE compiler flags determining its mapping to either strftime or _wcsftime.
I18n Issues
Use the appropriate version of the function as required for internationalization support, noting the following:
Ensure that the current locale is set properly.
