rtime(3N)                      DG/UX 5.4R3.00                      rtime(3N)


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.
