rtime(3) DG/UX 4.30 rtime(3)
NAME
rtime - get remote time
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
int rtime(addrp, timep, timeout)
struct sockaddrin *addrp;
struct timeval *timep;
struct timeval *timeout;
DESCRIPTION
The rtime function consults the Internet Time Server at the
address pointed to by addrp and returns the remote time in
the timeval struct pointed to by timep. Normally, the UDP
protocol is used when consulting the Time Server. The
timeout parameter specifies how long the routine should wait
before giving up when waiting for a reply. If timeout is
specified as NULL, however, the routine will instead use TCP
and block until a reply is received from the time server.
The routine returns 0 if it is successful. Otherwise, it
returns -1 and errno is set to reflect the cause of the
error.
