TIME(2)TIME(2)NAME
time, nsec - time in seconds and nanoseconds since epoch
SYNOPSIS
#include <u.h>
#include <libc.h>
long time(long *tp)
vlong nsec(void)DESCRIPTION
Both time and nsec return the time since the epoch 00:00:00 GMT, Jan.
1, 1970. The return value of the former is in seconds and the latter
in nanoseconds. For time, if tp is not zero then *tp is also set to
the answer.
Times from time should be stored in and treated as ulongs; this extends
the range of valid times into the year 2106.
These functions work by reading /dev/bintime, opening that file when
they are first called.
