GetTimeStr

Get the time

string GetTimeStr(int secs);

char* GetTimeStr(char* pszBuffer, int secs);

string GetTimeStr(datetime_struct* pTime, int secs);

char* GetTimeStr(datetime_struct* pTime, char* pszBuffer, int secs);

Parameters

  • secs - 0 = format time without secs, 1 = include seconds
  • pszBuffer - buffer to hold formatted time, application programmer must insure that this buffer is large enough for the time.
  • pTime - pointer to datetime_struct to format the time from instead of current time.

Return Value

  • Returns the time formatted as "HH:MM:SS" or "HH-MM-SS", or "HH:MM x.m.", based on boot loader preferences. Application developers should consider that time string will be longer if preferences are set for 12 hour time.

Remarks

Versions of this function that are not passed a pointer to a datetime_struct return the time information that is in memory based on a previous call to GetLinuxTime() or IsTimeChanged(). The versions of the function that take a pointer to a datetime_struct allow a string to be formatted from an arbitrary time.

Examples

string strTime = GetTimeStr(1);
DisplayText(10, 10, strTime);
char szTime[20];
GetTimeStr(szTime, 1);
DisplayText(10, 10, szTime);
datetime_struct dt;
dt.hour = 9;
dt.minute = 21;
dt.second = 30;

string strTime = GetTimeStr(&dt, 1);
DisplayText(10, 10, strTime);
datetime_struct dt;
dt.hour = 9;
dt.minute = 21;
dt.second = 30;

char szTime[20];

GetTimeStr(&dt, szTime, 1);
DisplayText(10, 10, szTime);
