print current date and time in a kernel module

[Kathiresan, Lekshmanan]

 

 

Hi All,

 

   I want to print current date and time in a kernel module.  

  1) do we have direct functions that we could use in kernel?

  

   2) Can get time from epoch using gettimeofday? So, how do I convert
it to the current date and time string. Is there something similar to

     userspace ctime in kernel?

 

With Thanks & Regards,
