(C++) ctime.h

 

ctime.h is an STL header file, containing the definitions of some time related functions and classes (incomplete list):

• std::clock_t
• std::time_t
• std::tm
• std::clock
• std::difftime
• std::mktime
• std::time
• std::asctime
• std::ctime
• std::gmtime
• std::localtime
• std::strftime

 

Prefer clock.h facilities over ctime.h facilities [1].
