The wifi101 library offers WiFi.getTime() to return the epoch time. This can be used with the avr-libc time.h library and not with the library
Reference https://github.com/arduino-libraries/WiFi101/issues/111
After a lot of digging I found a mac example demonstrating the time.h library functions I have adapted the code to work with the wifi101 The library is a bit cumbersome to work with and one of the key functions to produce a sdfat timestamp appears not to be correctly linked in the core. Despite this, the library has a lot of very powerful esoteric functions. The first listing is without SdFat support. The second has (my) time/date stamping for SdFat files.
This version includes a method for producing sdfat time/date stamps
