NAME

time, ctime, ltime, gmtime − return system time

SYNTAX

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

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

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

The ltime and gmtime routines dissect ULTRIX time into month, day and seconds, either for the local time zone or as GMT. The order and meaning of each element returned in tarray is described under ctime(3).
