DESCRIPTION
NOTE: This function is
deprecated; use clock_settime(2)
instead.
stime() sets the system's
idea of the time and date. The time, pointed to by t, is measured in seconds since
the Epoch, 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 (UTC). stime() may be executed only by the
superuser.
RETURN VALUE
On success, zero is returned. On error, −1 is
returned, and errno is set to
indicate the error.
ERRORS
- EFAULT
-
Error in getting information from user space.
- EPERM
-
The calling process has insufficient privilege. Under Linux, the
CAP_SYS_TIMEprivilege is required.
NOTES
Starting with glibc 2.31, this function is no longer
available to newly linked applications and is no longer
declared in <time.h>
