If your writing this program in C...just include the time.h header file and use the functionality included...

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

int main(int argc, char**argv)
{
struct tm *ptr;
time_t lt;

lt = time(NULL);
ptr = localtime(&lt);
printf(asctime(ptr));

return 0;
}

the rest you can figure out

And if you're scripting:

>/tmp/myfile$(/bin/date +&#37;Y%m%d%H%M%S)
