difftime(3) Library Functions Manual difftime(3) NAME
difftime, difftime64 - Compares time values LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a) SYNOPSIS
#include <time.h> double difftime( time_t time1, time_t time2); The following function declaration is a Compaq extension and does not conform to current standards. This function is provided to support the time64_t data type and is accessible only when the _TIME64_T feature macro is defined during compilation. #include <time.h> double difftime64( time64_t time64_1, time64_t time64_2); STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows: difftime(): XPG4, XPG4-UNIX Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags. PARAMETERS
Specifies a time value of type time_t expressed in seconds. Specifies a time value of type time_t expressed in seconds. Specifies a time value of type time64_t expressed in seconds. Specifies a time value of type time64_t expressed in seconds. DESCRIPTION
The difftime() function returns a signed time value in seconds that is the difference between the values of the time1 and time2 parameters, also expressed in seconds. The difftime64() function works exactly as the difftime() function, but accepts arguments of type time64_t type instead of time_t. This function declaration is only available when the _TIME64_T feature macro is defined during compilation. See the time(3) reference page for additional details. NOTES
The difftime() and difftime64() functions are supported for multithreaded applications. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion the difftime() function returns a value, expressed in seconds, that is the difference between the values of parameters time1 and time2. Upon successful completion the difftime64() function returns a value,expressed in seconds, that is the difference between the values of parameters time64_1 and time64_2. RELATED INFORMATION
