<p>The <strong>gettimeofday()</strong> function retrieves the
|
|
current Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and places it in the timeval structure pointed
|
|
to by <var>tp</var>. If <var>tzp</var> is not NULL, the time zone information
|
|
is returned in the time zone structure pointed to by <var>tzp</var>.</p>

|
|
<h3>Parameters</h3>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><strong>tp</strong></dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>(Output) A pointer to a timeval structure that contains the time in seconds
|
|
and microseconds since 1 January 1970, 00:00:00 UTC (epoch-1970).<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><strong>tzp</strong></dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>(Output) A pointer to a time zone structure that contains the local time
|
|
zone (measured in minutes west of Greenwich) and a flag that, if
|
|
nonzero, indicates Daylight Saving Time applies locally during the appropriate
|
|
part of the year.</dd>

<p>The following example gets the current UTC time:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
#include <sys/time.h>
|
|
#include <stdio.h>
|
|
#include <errno.h>
|
|
|
|
int main(int argc, char *argv[])

|
|
int rc;
|
|
|
|

|
|
if(rc==0) {
