NAME


getftime - get format for TIME values

SYNOPSIS


#include 

char *getftime()

DESCRIPTION


Getftime returns a pointer to a string containing the format for
TIME values. This format string is used by atotime(C-3) and
timetoa(C-3).  In addition, several of the C/Base programs use
this string for formatting TIME values.

The first specifier of the format is for times before 12 Noon.
The second specifier is for times of 12 Noon or after. If the
second specifier is absent, the the first specifier is for all
time values.

The TIME format string is retrieved from the country format
structure (see fcountry(C-3)).

NOTES


The value returned points to static data shared among all of the
get format routines and is overwritten with each call.
