time...without seconds in C!!

hi!
well i had been able to figure out how to get time in hours and minutes..not the seconds.....
the following code gives me time as...10:30:23...hh:mm:sec
i want only hh:min
can anyone sugest how i can do this
#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;
}

Check out the other format specifiers on the man page for strftime (or in the help file entry for strftime).


There are lots more options that look interesting, so I recommend reading it yourself.

BTW, thanks. I had never looked at strftime before.
