/*
 * timetoa.c -- time_t related string formatting
 *
 * Written by Juergen Perlinger (perlinger (at) ntp.org) for the NTP project.
 * The contents of 'html/copyright.html' apply.
 *
 * Printing a 'time_t' has a lot of portability pitfalls, due to it's
 * opaque base type. The only requirement imposed by the standard is
 * that it must be a numeric type. For all practical purposes it's a
 * signed int, and 32 bits are common.
 *
 * Since the UN*X time epoch will cause a signed integer overflow for
 * 32-bit signed int in the year 2038, implementations slowly move to
 * 64bit base types for time_t, even in 32-bit environments.
 *
 * As the printf() family has no standardised type specifier for time_t,
 * guessing the right output format specifier is a bit troublesome and
 * best done with the help of the preprocessor and "config.h".
