VMS Help CRTL, clock_settime, Description *Conan The Librarian |
The clock_settime function sets the specified clock, clock_id,
to the value specified by tp. Time values that are between two
consecutive non-negative integer multiples of the resolution of
the specified clock are truncated down to the smaller multiple of
the resolution.
A clock can be systemwide (that is, visible to all processes)
or per-process (measuring time that is meaningful only within a
process).
The CLOCK_REALTIME clock, defined in <time.h>, represents the
realtime clock for the system. For this clock, the values
specified by clock_settime and returned by clock_gettime
represent the amount of time elapsed, in seconds and nanoseconds,
since the Epoch. The Epoch is defined as 00:00:00:00 January 1,
1970 Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
You must have OPER, LOG_IO, and SYSPRV privileges to use the
clock_settime function.
On success, the function returns 0.
On failure, the function returns -1 and sets errno to indicate
the error.
See also clock_getres, clock_gettime, time, and ctime.
