how to suppress the newline in the formatted string returned by ctime?

In C++, the ctime function (from <ctime> or <time.h>) returns a formatted date and time string. However, this string contains a newline. What is the simplest way, in C++ syntax, to remove the newline?
Thanks,

Code:

#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <cstring>
#include <time.h>

int main() {
    char buf[256];
    time_t tt;

    time(&tt);
    strcpy(buf,ctime(&tt));
    buf[strlen(buf)-1]='\0';
    printf("%s\n",buf);
    return 0;
}
