Question

I need to print this value as a time string to Mon 16-Aug-2010 06:24 format or something similar.

unsigned int t = 1281920090;

Answer 1

You can use the functions gmtime and asctime as:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

int main() {
        time_t timestamp = 1281920090;
        printf("%s", asctime(gmtime(&timestamp)));
        return 0;
}

Output:

$ gcc a.c && ./a.out
