TIME(3C)							      TIME(3C)

NAME
       time - get system time

SYNOPSIS
       #include <time.h>

       time_t time(time_t *tloc);

(NOT AVAILABLE IN POSIX)
       #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.

       date(1), gettimeofday(2), settimeofday(2), ctime(3)
