STIME(E)            Linux Programmer's Manual            STIME(E)



NAME
       stime - set time

SYNOPSIS
       #define _SVID_SOURCE /* glibc2 needs this */
       #include <time.h>

       int stime(time_t *t);

DESCRIPTION
       stime  sets the system's idea of the time and date.  Time,
       pointed to by t, is measured in seconds from 00:00:00  GMT
       January  1,  1970.   stime()  may  only be executed by the
       super user.

RETURN VALUE
       On success, zero is returned.  On error, -1  is  returned,
       and errno is set appropriately.

ERRORS
       EPERM  The caller is not the super-user.

CONFORMING TO
       SVr4, SVID, X/OPEN

NOTES
       Under  glibc2,  <time.h>  only  provides  a prototype when
       _SVID_SOURCE is defined.
