Get current time in BORLAND c -

i saw somewhere took computer's current in whole int,and started calculating hours minutes seconds,and don't remember function used time int, maybe inportb or mk_fp or else,and don't remember if in dos.h.can me,i tried find quite time.

in standard c, can current time calling time function:

time_t = time(null); 

which requires

#include <time.h> 

the null argument admittedly odd; it's there historical reasons.

time_t numeric type capable of representing times. way implementation-specific, it's typically integer representing number of seconds since january 1, 1970. i'm not borland uses same representation; consult system's documentation time function.

<time.h> provides various functions convert between time_t values , struct tm (a "broken-down" time), generate human-readable strings times, , forth.

there may other way current time, specific borland and/or ms-dos. unless need better 1-second resolution, or you're using implementation that's ancient doesn't suport time function properly, there's not reason use other standard time function.
