20 ## @deftypefn {Function File} {} ctime (@var{t})
21 ## Convert a value returned from @code{time} (or any other non-negative
22 ## integer), to the local time and return a string of the same form as
23 ## @code{asctime}. The function @code{ctime (time)} is equivalent to
24 ## @code{asctime (localtime (time))}. For example:
29 ## @result{} "Mon Feb 17 01:15:06 1997"
32 ## @seealso{asctime, time, localtime}
37 function retval = ctime (t)
43 retval = asctime (localtime (t));
50 %! assert(strcmp (asctime (localtime (t)), ctime (t)));
