## 98. SLcurrent_time_string

Synopsis

  Get the current time as a string

Usage

  `char *SLcurrent_time_string (void)`

Description

  The `SLcurrent_time_string` function uses the C library function call `ctime` to obtain a string representation of the the current date and time in the form

  > `

  >          "Wed Dec 10 12:50:28 1997"

  > `

  However, unlike the `ctime` function, a newline character is not present in the string.

  The returned value points to a statically allocated memory block which may get overwritten on subsequent function calls.
