<h2>Qp0zSetTimeofDay()--Set Software Clock</h2>
<div class="box" style="width: 70%;">
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Syntax<br>
<pre>
#include &lt;sys/time.h&gt;
int Qp0zSetTimeofDay (struct timeval *<var>tp</var>,
struct timezone *<var>tzp</var>);
</pre>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Service Program Name: QP0ZSETC<br>
<!-- iddvc RMBR -->
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Default Public Authority: *USE<br>
<!-- iddvc RMBR -->
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Threadsafe: Yes<br>
<!-- iddvc RMBR -->
<br>
</div>
<p>The <strong>Qp0zSetTimeofDay()</strong> function sets the software clock to the
time contained in the timeval structure pointed to by <var>tp</var>. If <var>tzp</var>
is not NULL, the time zone information is also set.</p>
<p>
The software clock maintains a time that can be set independently of the system
clock. It is not integrated with the system and will be removed in a future
release. The <a href="settod.htm">settimeofday()</a> function should be used instead.
</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>tp</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) 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>(Input) A pointer to a timezone 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>
</dl>

<h3>Error Conditions</h3>

<h3>Error Messages</h3>
<p>None.</p>
<br>
<h3>Usage Notes</h3>
<p>If the value of the environment variable QIBM_USE_SFWCLK is &quot;N&quot;,
<strong>Qp0zSetTimeofDay()</strong> calls <strong>settimeofday()</strong> to
adjust the system clock.</p>

<h3>Example</h3>
<p>See <a href="../apiref/aboutapis.htm#codedisclaimer">Code disclaimer information</a>
for information pertaining to code examples.</p>
<p>The following example sets the software clock:</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 now;
int rc;
time.tv_sec=866208142;
time.tv_usec=290944;
rc=Qp0zSetTimeofDay(&amp;now, NULL);
if(rc==0) {
printf(&quot;Qp0zSetTimeofDay() successful.\n&quot;);
}
else {
printf(&quot;Qp0zSetTimeofDay() failed, &quot;
&quot;errno = %d\n&quot;,errno);
return -1;
}
return 0;
}
</pre>
<h3>Example Output</h3>
<pre>
Qp0zSetTimeofDay() successful.
