stime(2)                          SDK R4.11                         stime(2)


NAME
       stime - set time

SYNOPSIS
       #include <time.h>
       #include <unistd.h>
       #include <sys/types.h>

       int  stime (seconds)
       timet * seconds;

   where:
       seconds   Address of an initialized longword interpreted as the new
                 system time

DESCRIPTION
       Stime sets the system's notion of the current Greenwich time to the
       value contained in the longword at the location specified by seconds.

       When the time is successfully changed, a log of the change is sent to
       the error logger device.

       The time value specified is interpreted as Greenwich time expressed
       in seconds since midnight January 1, 1970.

       Setting the system clock may interfere with other timing functions.

ACCESS CONTROL
       Only a user with appropriate privilege may set the time of day.

       For systems supporting the DG/UX Capability Option, appropriate
       privilege is defined as having one or more specific capabilities
       enabled in the effective capability set of the calling process.  See
       capdefaults(5) for the default capability for this system call.

       On systems without the DG/UX Capability Option, appropriate privilege
       means that the process has an effective UID of root.  See the
       appropriateprivilege(5) man page for more information.

RETURN VALUE
       0      Completed successfully.

       -1     An error occurred.  errno is set to indicate the error.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Errno may be set to one of the following error codes:

       EPERM     Permission to change the system time is denied to the
                 calling process.

       EFAULT    The seconds argument references invalid memory.
