NAME

       panda_nowdate - return the string for now


SYNOPSIS

        #include<panda/constants.h>
        #include<panda/functions.h>
        void panda_nowdate ();


DESCRIPTION

       <command>PANDA INTERNAL</command>. The function nowdate generates a
       date that is suitable to be embedded into a PDF. This date will include
       information about the timezone in which the PDF was created and the
       relationship that this timezone has with GMT (Zulu) time. Mostly this
       function is used internally within Panda, and should not concern the
       avaerage programmer too much. This version takes no input, and makes a
       date for the current time.


RETURNS

       The current time in PDF format in a null terminated string.


EXAMPLE

        #include<panda/constants.h>
        #include<panda/functions.h>
        printf("The time now is %s\n", panda_nowdate());
