NAME
stime, settod - set time
SYNOPSIS
stime(tp)
long *tp;
long settod(toy)
long toy;
DESCRIPTION
Stime sets the system's idea of the time and date. Time, pointed to by
tp, is measured in seconds from 0000 GMT Jan 1, 1970.
Settod sets the VAX hardware time-of-year clock to toy, and returns the
previous value. When the system is booted, the system's time is set
from the time-of-year clock; while the system is running, the time-of-
year clock is examined periodically, and the system's time adjusted
slowly if necessary to make the two agree.
Only the super-user may use these calls.
SEE ALSO
date(1), time(2), ctime(3)
DIAGNOSTICS
Zero is returned if the time was set; -1 if user is not the super-user.
