PetscGetDate

Gets the current date.

Synopsis

PetscErrorCode PetscGetDate(char date[], size_t len)

Not Collective

Input Parameter

• len - length of string to hold date

Output Parameter

• date - the date

Note

This function makes a system call and thus SHOULD NOT be called from an error handler.

Developer Notes

This function is called once during PetscInitialize(). It stashes the timestamp, and uses it when needed. This is so that error handlers may report the date without generating possible additional system errors during the call to get the date.
