<h2>adjtime()--Adjust System Clock</h2>
<div class="box" style="width: 70%;">
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Syntax
<pre>
#include &lt;sys/time.h&gt;
int adjtime (struct timeval *delta,
struct timeval *olddelta);
</pre>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Service Program Name: QWCTZUTC<br>
<!-- iddvc RMBR -->

<br>
</div>
<p>The <strong>adjtime()</strong> function makes small adjustments to the system clock, either slowing it down or speeding it up by the time specified in the <em>delta</em> parameter up to a maximum of two hours. If <em>delta</em> is negative, the clock is slowed down by incrementing it more slowly than normal until the correction is complete. If <em>delta</em> is positive, the clock is sped up by incrementing it more quickly than normal until the correction is complete. If <em>olddelta</em> is not NULL, the amount of time still to be corrected from a previous <strong>adjtime()</strong> call is returned in the structure it points to.
</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>delta</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input)
<p>A pointer to a timeval structure that contains the amount of time for adjusting the clock.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>olddelta</strong></dt>
<dd>(Output)
<p>A pointer to a timeval structure that contains the amount of time still to be corrected from a previous call to <strong>adjtime()</strong>.</p>
</dd>
</dl>

<h3>Return Value</h3>
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="5%" valign=top><strong>0</strong></td>
<td width="95%"><strong>adjtime()</strong> was successful. The requested adjustment was initiated and the value returned in the structure pointed to by the <em>olddelta</em> parameter is the amount of time still to be corrected from a previous <strong>adjtime()</strong>.</td>
</tr>

<td valign=top><strong>-1</strong></td>
<td><strong>adjtime()</strong> was not successful. The <em>errno</em> variable is set to indicate the error.</td>
</tr>

<h3>Error Conditions</h3>
<p>If <strong>adjtime()</strong> is not successful, <em>errno</em> usually indicates one of the following errors. Under some conditions, <em>errno</em> could indicate an error other than those listed here.</p>

<p>The following example initiates a system clock adjustment:</p>
<pre>
#include &lt;sys/time.h&gt;
#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
#include &lt;errno.h&gt;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
struct timeval adj, old;
int rc;
/* Speed up the clock by 1.5 seconds. */
adj.tv_sec=1;
adj.tv_usec=500000;
rc=adjtime(&amp;adj, &amp;old);
if(rc==0) {
printf(&quot;adjtime() successful. &quot;
&quot;Olddelta = %u.%06u\n&quot;,
old.tv_sec, old.tv_usec);
}
else {
printf(&quot;adjtime() failed, errno = %d\n&quot;,errno);
return -1;
}
return 0;
}
</pre>
<strong>Example Output:</strong>
<pre>
adjtime() successful. Olddelta = 0.000000
