All,

I have a need to retrieve the current time (seconds, not milliseconds) and
format it thus:

Wed, 12 Dev 2001 13:21:01 -0500

That is the format for date-time as described in RFC2822. I can retrieve the
current date/time using the unix APIs, but I'd still have to format the
bloody thing. I'm hoping I'm either 1) missing an api, or 2) someone has
written a generic date/time formatting routing they'd care to share.

-Walden
