You said above that I shouldn't be using strlen(tout) and instead I should be
passing 128. Would I be better off using sizeof(tout) instead?
Also, the code has always worked. I just recompiled it recently. Now the
date works but the time isn't appearing. What could be causing that?
tout is a char *, so sizeof(tout) in getTime() will be 4 or 8. You will
need to change the calling sequence of getTime() to pass the length of
tout, which will depend on how you allocated it:
char tout[128];
getTime(tout,sizeof(tout));
or
char *tout = malloc(128);
getTime(tout,128);
etc.
