    <i>Ctime</i> converts a time <i>clock</i> such as returned by <a href="../man3/time.html"><i>time</i>(3)</a> into ASCII
    (sic) and returns a pointer to a 30-byte string in the following
    form. All the fields have constant width.

    <i>Localtime</i> and <i>gmtime</i> return pointers to structures containing
    the broken-down time. <i>Localtime</i> corrects for the time zone and
    possible daylight savings time; <i>gmtime</i> converts directly to GMT.
    <i>Asctime</i> converts a broken-down time to ASCII and returns a pointer
    to a 30-byte string.<br>

    To avoid name conflicts with the underlying system, <i>ctime</i>, <i>localtime</i>,
    <i>gmtime</i>, <i>asctime</i>, and <i>tm2sec</i> are preprocessor macros defined as
