+/*
+ * timetoa.c -- time_t related string formatting
+ *
+ * Written by Juergen Perlinger (perlinger@ntp.org) for the NTP project.
+ * The contents of 'html/copyright.html' apply.
+ *
+ * Printing a 'time_t' has a lot of portability pitfalls, due to it's
+ * opaque base type. The only requirement imposed by the standard is
+ * that it must be a numeric type. For all practical purposes it's a
+ * signed int, and 32 bits are common.
+ *
+ * Since the UN*X time epoch will cause a signed integer overflow for
+ * 32-bit signed int in the year 2038, implementations slowly move to
+ * 64bit base types for time_t, even in 32-bit environments.
+ *
+ * As the printf() family has no standardised type specifier for time_t,
+ * guessing the right output format specifier is a bit troublesome and
+ * best done with the help of the preprocessor and "config.h".
