Get the date

{{{
string GetDateStr(void);

char* GetDateStr(char* pszBuffer);

string GetDateStr(datetime_struct* pDate);

char* GetDateStr(datetime_struct* pDate, char* pszBuffer);
}}}

== Parameters == 

 * pszBuffer - buffer to hold formatted time, application must insure that this buffer is large enough.
 * pDate - pointer to datetime_struct

== Return Value ==

 * Returns the date formatted as "MM/DD/YYYY" or "DD/MM/YYYY", or "YYYY-MM-DD", based on boot loader preferences.

== Remarks ==

This function returns the date information that is in memory based on a previous call to GetLinuxTime() or IsTimeChanged(). The versions of this function that take a datetime_struct pointer may be used to format date string based on an arbitrary date.

== Examples ==

{{{
string strDate = GetDateStr();
DisplayText(10, 10, strDate);
}}}

{{{
char szDate[20];
GetDateStr(szDate);
DisplayText(10, 10, szDate);
}}}

{{{
datetime_struct dt;
dt.year = 2021;
dt.month = 1;
dt.day = 28;

string strDate = GetDateStr(&dt);
DisplayText(10, 10, strDate);
}}}

{{{
datetime_struct dt;
dt.year = 2021;
dt.month = 1;
dt.day = 28;

char szDate[20];

GetDateStr(&dt, str);

DisplayText(10, 10, szDate);
