InternationalDate

int InternationalDate (char date[], int stringBufferSize);

Purpose

Returns a string representation of the current date in a format appropriate to internationalization settings of the computer.

Note  This function depends on the operating system and C Library support for international date formats. On some systems, the date returned may not be in correct format for the location.

This function is not safe for use in a multi–threaded program because it temporarily changes the current locale in the ANSI C time library.

Parameters

Name Type Description
stringBufferSize integer Pass the size (including space for the terminating null byte) of the string buffer that the formatted date is to be stored in.
Output
Name Type Description
date char [] Pass a string buffer in which to store the formatted date.

Return Value

Name Type Description
numberOfCharacterFormatted integer Returns the number of characters in the internationally formatted date string.

This function returns zero if the date could not be formatted into the buffer.
