Something I use, not very special but works for me. You need to declare the variables somewhere in your code (e.g. RTCsecond etc.). Converts to string and integer values.

RTC snip

void readRTC()
{
    time_t seconds = time(NULL);
    strftime(timebuf,50,"%H:%M:%S", localtime(&seconds));
    strftime(datebuf,50,"%a %d %b %Y", localtime(&seconds));
                                
    char buf[80];
    strftime(buf, 2,"%S", localtime(&seconds));
    RTCsecond = atoi(buf);
    strftime(buf, 2,"%M", localtime(&seconds));
    RTCminute = atoi(buf);                       
    strftime(buf, 2,"%H", localtime(&seconds));
    RTChour = atoi(buf);
    strftime(buf, 2,"%d", localtime(&seconds));                                
    RTCdayofmonth = atoi(buf);
    strftime(buf, 2,"%w", localtime(&seconds));                
    RTCdayofweek = atoi(buf);
    strftime(buf, 2,"%m", localtime(&seconds));
    RTCmonth = atoi(buf);
    strftime(buf, 2,"%y", localtime(&seconds));
    RTCyear = atoi(buf);
}
