How to get day of the week

hi.
i want to know which day we are on now. i mean today is sunday or monday or… ? is there any way to get this parameter?

int GetHaftaninGunu(adl_rtcTime_t * now)
{
	int days;
	adl_rtcTime_t belliGun;	//04.01.09 00:00:00 sunday(0)
	adl_rtcTimeStamp_t ts1,ts2,diff;

	belliGun.Year=2009;
	belliGun.Month=1;
	belliGun.Day=4;
	belliGun.Hour=0;
	belliGun.Minute=0;
	belliGun.Second=0;	

	adl_rtcConvertTime(&belliGun,&ts1,ADL_RTC_CONVERT_TO_TIMESTAMP);
	adl_rtcConvertTime(now,&ts2,ADL_RTC_CONVERT_TO_TIMESTAMP);
	if(adl_rtcDiffTime ( &ts2, &ts1, &diff )!=1)
		return 0;
	days = ADL_RTC_GET_TIMESTAMP_DAYS(diff);
	return days%7;
}

i wrote this function for that. is there any built-in function or any other way for it?

Here’s some date & time stuff for your amusement: merlyn.demon.co.uk/datelinx.htm

Hiya,

And here’s an algorithm that I’ve used sucessfully:
