time function inC

hi!
i want to get the time and date as seperate stringd,,,
the following cod e return me as a complete string,,,can anyone tell how can i gat them as 2 seperate strings
/* localtime example */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

int main ()
{
time_t rawtime;
struct tm * timeinfo;

time ( &rawtime );
timeinfo = localtime ( &rawtime );
printf ( "Current date and time are: %s", asctime (timeinfo) );

return 0;
}

Output:
Current date and time are: Mon May 5 17:36:17 2003

hi!
well i had been able to figure out how to get time and date...
#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#define SIZE 256

int
main (void)
{
char buffer1[SIZE];
char buffer2[SIZE];
time_t curtime;
struct tm *loctime;

/* Get the current time. */
curtime = time (NULL);

/* Convert it to local time representation. */
loctime = localtime (&curtime);


/* Print out the date and time in the standard format. */
fputs (asctime (loctime), stdout);

/* Print it out in a nice format. */
strftime (buffer1, SIZE, " %x\n", loctime);
printf("date: %s\n",buffer1);

strftime (buffer2, SIZE, "%X", loctime);
printf("time: %s\n",buffer2);

return 0;
}
but now wat i want to do is subtract 5 minutes from the current time...and get the new time..in same format..
can anybody suggest how a can do this?
regards

From the man page for the time function:

I've not tried it myself, but it seems that you should just need to subtract 300 (5min times 60sec/min) to change the time value to five minutes prior.

E.g.:
