Convert time_t value to string.
Converts tim_p to a string containing time

@return A pointer to the string containing the date 
and time information in readable format.
The string pointed is statically allocated 
and shared by ctime and asctime functions. 
Each time one of these functions is called 
the content of the string is overwritten.
@param tim_p pointer to a time_t value, 
usually returned by time function.
