On your unix/linux/whatever system type in 'man ctime' and read all about it.

We cant write code for you.
The logic u are asking is to some extent simple.
You should use localtime() and time() functions for this

I'm sorry I don't understand your question. You have working code that produces
the correct output using the correct logic. What exactly do you want? I'm afraid
this is a little English language problem.

#include<stdio. h>
#include<time.h >
char *functionName() ;
int main()
{
printf("\n date - 6 days : [%s]" , functionName()) ;
//Here u will get in full string format then u parce it and use the info what ever required.
}

char *functionName()
{
current = time(NULL);
c6 = current - (29 * 3600 *24);
return ctime(&c6);
}

output is ::::::::::::::
date - 6 days : [Wed Jun 4 17:09:40 2008]


i write the above code it returns the last 6 days date
so output convert into MM/DD/YYYY [06/04/2008]

I'm sorry, I still don't understand what you want. I've asked the other moderators
to have a peek; maybe one of them can help you out.
