_strdate, _wstrdate
Copy a date to a buffer.
char *_strdate( char *datestr ); wchar_t *_wstrdate( wchar_t *datestr );
Parameters
- datestr
- A pointer to a buffer containing the formatted date string.
Return Value
Each of these functions returns a pointer to the resulting character string datestr.
Remarks
The _strdate function copies a date to the buffer pointed to by datestr, formatted mm/dd/yy, where mm is two digits representing the month, dd is two digits representing the day, and yy is the last two digits of the year. For example, the string 12/05/99 represents December 5, 1999. The buffer must be at least 9 bytes long.
_wstrdate is a wide-character version of _strdate; the argument and return value of _wstrdate are wide-character strings. These functions behave identically otherwise.
