PMCTIME(3) Library Functions Manual PMCTIME(3)NAME
pmCtime - format the date and time for a reporting timezone
C SYNOPSIS
#include <time.h>
#include <pcp/pmapi.h>
char *pmCtime(const time_t *clock, char *buf);
cc ... -lpcp
DESCRIPTION
pmCtime is very similar to ctime(3), except the timezone used is the current ``reporting timezone'' (rather than the default TZ environment
variable scheme), and the result is returned into a caller-declared buffer (rather than a private buffer).
Like ctime(3) the time to be converted is passed via clock, and the result in buf is fixed width fields in the format:
Fri Sep 13 00:00:00 1986
The result buffer buf must be at least 26 bytes long, and no attempt is made to check this. pmCtime returns buf as the value of the func-
tion.
The default current reporting timezone is as defined by the TZ environment variable, so pmCtime and ctime(3) will initially produce similar
encoding of the date and time.
Use pmNewZone(3), pmNewContextZone(3) or pmUseZone(3) to establish a new current reporting timezone that will effect pmCtime but not
ctime(3).
SEE ALSO ctime(3), PMAPI(3), pmLocaltime(3), pmNewContextZone(3), pmNewZone(3) and pmUseZone(3).

Hi,
I noticed that some directories under /tmp were updated ctime daily. As you can see below, I thought that was because of tmpwatch.

I know that find -ctime +1 will find ALL files that have been modified
that are greater than 1 day old and -ctime 1 will find files that are
ONLY 1 day old -ctime -1 mean files that are less than a day old?
Can find actually use this granularity? (5 Replies)
Hi
I thought the UNIX command date is universal and so I have been using
date +%z to get the numberic timezone offset (e.g. -0500)
however on HP-UX, this is not returning expected results; on my machine it returns the name of the time zone (e.g. EST) not numbers.
does anyone know... (2 Replies)
