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.
