TIME(3C)TIME(3C)NAMEtime - get system timeSYNOPSIS
#include <time.h>
time_t time(time_t *tloc);

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/timeb.h>
ftime(struct timeb *tp);
DESCRIPTION
For non-POSIX applications, these interfaces are obsoleted by
gettimeofday(2).
Time returns the value of time in seconds since 00:00:00 GMT, January
1, 1970.
If tloc is nonnull, the return value is also stored in the place to
which tloc points.
The BSD ftime function fills in a structure pointed to by its argument,
as defined in <sys/timeb.h>. The structure contains the time since the
epoch in seconds, up to 1000 milliseconds of more-precise interval, the
local time zone (measured in minutes of time westward from Greenwich),
and a flag that, if nonzero, indicates that Daylight Saving time
applies locally during the appropriate part of the year.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, time returns the value of time. Otherwise,
a value of (( time_t )-1) is returned.
