Returns a number formatted according to the given format string using the
given integer <parameter>timestamp</parameter> or the current local time
if no timestamp is given. In other words, <parameter>timestamp</parameter>
is optional and defaults to the value of <function>time</function>.

<para>
Unlike the function <function>date</function>, <function>idate</function>
accepts just one char in the <parameter>format</parameter> parameter.
