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)−1is
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.
