NAME

       PX_timestamp2string — Convert paradox timestamp into formatted string

SYNOPSIS

       #include <paradox.h>

       char * PX_timestamp2string(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, double timestamp, const char *format)

DESCRIPTION

       Creates  a  string  representation  of  a  paradox timestamp as specified in the parameter
       format.  The timestamp must be either retrieved with PX_get_data_double(3)  after  calling
       PX_get_record(3)  or by simply using the double value in the pxval_t struct as returned by
       PX_retrieve_record(3). A timestamp contains both time and  date  information.  The  format
       string contains chars which stand for certain values of the date/time. The following table
       lists all available characters with a meaning.  All  other  characters  are  being  copied
       unmodified  to  the output string. If a special character shall not be interpreted it must
       be preceded with a backslash.
