TIME(2) 							System Calls Manual							   TIME(2)

NAME

       time - time in seconds since epoch

SYNOPSIS

       #include <u.h>
       #include <libc.h>

       long time(long *tp)

       /* Alef only */

       int time();

DESCRIPTION

       Time returns the number of seconds since the epoch 00:00:00 GMT, Jan. 1, 1970.  If tp is not zero then *tp is also set to the answer.

       This function works by reading /dev/time, opening that file when time is first called.

Alef
       In Alef, time does not take an argument.

NAME

       time, ctime, ltime, gmtime - return system time

SYNOPSIS

       integer function time()

       character*(*) function ctime (stime)
       integer stime

       subroutine ltime (stime, tarray)
       integer stime, tarray(9)

       subroutine gmtime (stime, tarray)
       integer stime, tarray(9)

DESCRIPTION

       Time returns the time since 00:00:00 GMT, Jan. 1, 1970, measured in seconds.  This is the value of the UNIX system clock.

       Ctime  converts	a  system  time  to  a	24  character ASCII string.  The format is described under ctime(3).  No 'newline' or NULL will be
       included.

       Ltime and gmtime disect a UNIX time into month, day, etc., either for the local time zone or as GMT.  The order and meaning of each element
       returned in tarray is described under ctime(3).
