I want to get the current time of my system. For that i'm using the following code in C.

time_t now;
struct tm *mytime = localtime(&now); 
if ( strftime(buffer, sizeof buffer, "%X", mytime) )
    {
    printf("time1 = \"%s\"\n", buffer);
    }

But the problem of this code is that its giving some random time.Also the random time is different all the time.I want the current time of my system. Can anyone please tell me how to solve this issue?
