You could use gmtime() to set a structure containing all the time fields and
just print out the ones you want eg.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
int main(void)
{
time_t t = time(NULL);
struct tm *tm = gmtime(&t);
printf("time: yr=%d h=%d m=%d s=%d\n",
tm->tm_year + 1900, tm->tm_hour, tm->tm_min, tm->tm_sec);
return 0;
}

Good - a proper program :-)
