NAME
     gettimeofday, settimeofday - get or set the date and time

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/time.h>

     int gettimeofday(struct timeval *tp, void * );

     int settimeofday(struct timeval *tp, void * );

MT-LEVEL
     MT-Safe

DESCRIPTION
     gettimeofday() gets and  settimeofday()  sets  the  system's
     notion  of  the current time.  The current time is expressed
     in elapsed seconds and microseconds  since  00:00  Universal
     Coordinated  Time,  January  1, 1970.  The resolution of the
     system clock is hardware dependent; the time may be  updated
     continuously or in clock ticks.

     tp points to a timeval structure, which includes the follow-
     ing members:

          long    tv_sec;    /* seconds since Jan. 1, 1970 */
          long    tv_usec;   /* and microseconds */

     If tp is a null pointer, the current time information is not
     returned or set.

     The TZ environment variable  holds  time  zone  information.
     See TIMEZONE(4).

     The second argument  to  gettimeofday()  and  settimeofday()
     should be a pointer to NULL.

     Only the privileged user may set the time of day.

SEE ALSO
     adjtime(2), ctime(3C), TIMEZONE(4)

RETURN VALUES
     A -1 return value indicates that an error occurred and errno
     has been set.

ERRORS
     The following error codes may be set in errno:

     EINVAL              tp specifies an invalid time.

     EPERM               A user other than  the  privileged  user
                         attempted to set the time or time zone.



SunOS 5.5.1         Last change: 13 Sep 1994                    1

The Conclusion
==============

Seems we need an extra #ifdef here...

Cheers,
Waldo
