LETTERlocaltimeULETTER Unpacks the local time.

Overview
#include <time.h>

t = localtime(tp);

struct tm *t;
const time_t *tp;

Portability
ANSI

Description
This function converts a time specification from its long integer (time_t) form, which represents the number of seconds since 00:00:00 January 1, 1970 and is returned by eg. time, into a tm structure.
In opposite to gmtime this routine automatically adjusts the time_t value passed for the local time zone.
Note that the tm structure returned is shared among other time functions and should thus be used immediately after calling gmtime.

Returns
A pointer to a completed "tm" structure.
