+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Ctime
+converts a time pointed to by
+.I clock
+such as returned by
+.IR time (2)
+into ASCII
+and returns a pointer to a
+26-character string
+in the following form.
+All the fields have constant width.
+.PP

+.PP
+.I Localtime
+and
+.I gmtime
+return pointers to structures containing
+the broken-down time.
+.I Localtime
+corrects for the time zone and possible daylight savings time;
+.I gmtime
+converts directly to GMT, which is the time UNIX uses.
+.I Asctime
+converts a broken-down time to ASCII and returns a pointer
+to a 26-character string.
+.PP
+The structure declaration from the include file is:
+.RS
+.PP
+.nf
+.so /usr/include/time.h
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+These quantities give the time on a 24-hour clock,
+day of month (1-31), month of year (0-11), day of week
+(Sunday = 0), year \- 1900, day of year (0-365),
+and a flag that is nonzero if daylight saving time is in effect.
+.PP
+When local time is called for,
+the program consults the system to determine the time zone and
+whether the standard U.S.A. daylight saving time adjustment is
+appropriate.
+The program knows about the peculiarities
+of this conversion in 1974 and 1975;
+if necessary,
+a table for these years can be extended.
+.PP
+.I Timezone
+returns the name of the time zone associated with its first argument,
+which is measured in minutes westward from Greenwich.
+If the second argument is 0, the standard name is used,
+otherwise the Daylight Saving version.
+If the required name does not appear in a table
+built into the routine,
+the difference from GMT is produced; e.g.
+in Afghanistan
+.I timezone(-(60*4+30), 0)
+is appropriate because it is 4:30 ahead of GMT
+and the string
+.B GMT+4:30
+is produced.
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+time(2)
+.SH BUGS
+The return values point to static data
+whose content is overwritten by each call.
