## Syntax

```lua
table getRealTime()
```

## Returns

A table with `second`, `minute`, `hour`, `monthday` (1 to 31), `month` (0 to 11), `year` (years since 1900), `weekday` (0 = Sunday), `yearday` (0 to 365) and `timestamp` (seconds since 1970).

## Example

```lua
local now = getRealTime()
print(("%02d/%02d/%04d %02d:%02d"):format(now.monthday, now.month + 1, now.year + 1900, now.hour, now.minute))
```

### Note

`month` starts at 0 and `year` counts from 1900: add 1 and 1900 to show the date.
