NAME

time — get time

SYNOPSIS

#include <time.h>

time_t time(time_t *tloc);

DESCRIPTION

time() returns the value of time in seconds since the Epoch.

If tloc is not a null pointer, the return value is also assigned to the object to which it points.

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, time() returns the value of time. Otherwise, a value of (time_t)-1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

[EFAULT]

time() fails if tloc points to an illegal address. The reliable detection of this error is implementation dependent.

STANDARDS CONFORMANCE

time(): AES, SVID2, SVID3, XPG2, XPG3, XPG4, FIPS 151-2, POSIX.1, ANSI C
