time(0) shows current time but it return variable of structure time_t inorder to access it u have to use another structure variable like time_t t=time(0). then using localtime()function u can output minute,hr,second,day,month,year anything

actually localtime also return pointer to structure named tm so u have to use it too like this struct tm* ptr=localtime(&t); then use tm-> day , tm->hour,tm->min freely
