I need C to generate the Date in a certain format

I am trying to generate a Common Log File. TO do this i need the Date in this form:
[day/month/year:hh:mm:ss zone]
For example, [08/May/1997:16:27:54 +0100]
How can i get C to do this simply?

thanks

Try:

Code:

---

#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void){
        char tmp[120];
        char tmzone[4];
        time_t lt;
        struct tm *tmptr;
        memset(tmp,0x00,sizeof(tmp));
        memset(tmzone,0x00,sizeof(tmzone));
        lt = time(NULL);  // time now
        tmptr=localtime(&lt);
        // make this format: [day/month/year:hh:mm:ss zone]
        strftime(tmzone,sizeof(tmzone),"%Z",tmptr);
        strftime(tmp,sizeof(tmp),"[%d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S ",tmptr);
        strcat(tmp,tmzone);
        strcat(tmp,"]");
        printf("%s\n",tmp);
          return 0;
}

nice, except that tmzone should be at least 6 chars long...
