display the time

[Jumux]

whats a good way to display the time and date to a file using fprintf?

[bwkaz]

man 2 time

man 3 ctime

String those two functions together (but read the manpages first, to get an understanding of how they work), then print the result with fprintf(fp, "%s", result); or similar.

you@localhost:$ date > file.txt

or simply....echo "Today is `date`":D

or something like that.

hmmm. considering the question was answered by bwkaz i didn't think any extra information would have been helpful. however being helpful means answering the question that was asked.
which is the point i was trying to make.
i apologize if you feel i was "crapping" on you. it was not the purpose of my post.
