NAME
       difftime - calculate time difference

SYNOPSIS
       #include <time.h>

       double difftime(time_t time1, time_t time0);

DESCRIPTION
       The  difftime()	function returns the number of seconds elapsed between
       time time1 and time time0, represented as a double.  The two times  are
       specified in calendar time, which represents the time elapsed since the
       Epoch (00:00:00 on January 1, 1970, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)).

CONFORMING TO
       SVr4, 4.3BSD, C99

NOTES
       On a POSIX system, time_t is an arithmetic type,	 and  one  could  just
       define

	      #define difftime(t1,t0) (double)(t1 - t0)

       when  the  possible  overflow  in the subtraction is not a concern.  On
       other systems, the data type time_t might use some other encoding where
       subtraction doesn't work directly.

CONFORMING TO
       SVr4, 4.3BSD, POSIX.1-2001.
