Yes, it will work correctly. You can see what happens by setting now to 1131131131 (where you currently have now = time(NULL)). It's not an April Fools' Day joke, that just happens to be an appropriate time in November. :-) I also noticed a number of bugs in your code that you may want to fix: - memory leak: you are allocating memory with my_alloc(), but then you neither free(3) it nor keep track of it. You should remove my_alloc() and just create a buffer in main() and then pass it by reference to functions that need to modify its contents. - with my_alloc() you basically reinvented strdup(3), see man 3 strdup for details. You do not need strdup(3) for what you want to achieve, just pass the buffer from main() by reference and then use snprintf(3) to modify its contents. - snprintf(3) handles the size argument correctly, meaning that you should specify the full size of the string since at most size-1 characters are written with guaranteed NULL termination, see man 3 snprintf for details.
