CTIME(3f)

DESCRIPTION
CTIME converts a system time value, such as returned by TIME8, to a string. The output will be of the form 'Sat Aug 19 18:13:14 1995'.

This intrinsic is provided in both subroutine and function forms; however, only one form can be used in any given program unit.

STANDARD
GNU extension

CLASS
Subroutine, function

SYNTAX

CALL CTIME(TIME, RESULT). RESULT = CTIME(TIME).

ARGUMENTS

TIME The type shall be of type INTEGER. RESULT The type shall be of type CHARACTER and of default kind. It is an INTENT(OUT) argument. If the length of this variable is too short for the time and date string to fit completely, it will be blank on procedure return.

RETURN VALUE
The converted date and time as a string.

EXAMPLE
          program test_ctime
              integer(8) :: i
              character(len=30) :: date
              i = time8()

              ! Do something, main part of the program

              call ctime(i,date)
              print *, 'Program was started on ', date
          end program test_ctime
