Hi,
I manage to use the function "time" and "localtime" in gcc.But while I used it in a module in kernel space the above 2 functions are giving error.Even in kernel space time.h header file is not identified.Can anyone pls. tell the similar time function which can be used in kernel space

I've never written Linux kernel code, but have for Windows. You need to find a kernel level time function. If Linux is anything like Windows, the time functions are more granular, but not as do everything as application-level time functions.

Hopefully someone knowledgeable about kernel development will answer this.
