Please be advised that your question is off topic for this list; 
nevertheless,  below is a function that formats the current time from 
the computer and returns a char pointer to a string containing that time:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <memory.h>

char *get_time(boolean doseconds)
{
   time_t lt;
   int retval;
   struct tm *tm;
   static char locbuf[9];
  
   /* clean up buffer */
   memset((void *)locbuf,0,sizeof(locbuf));
  
   /* generate time structure */   
   lt = time(NULL);
   tm = localtime(&lt);
  
   if(doseconds)
       sprintf(locbuf,"%02d%02d%02d",tm->tm_hour,tm->tm_min,tm->tm_sec);
   else
       sprintf(locbuf,"%02d%02d",tm->tm_hour,tm->tm_min);
  
   return locbuf;
  
}
