How do I get the unix timestamp in C as an int?


I would like to get the current timestamp and print it out using fprintf.


Solution

  • For 32-bit systems:

    fprintf(stdout, "%u\n", (unsigned)time(NULL)); 
    

    For 64-bit systems:

    fprintf(stdout, "%lu\n", (unsigned long)time(NULL));
