time.h

Go to the documentation of this file.

/* The <time.h> header is used by the procedures that deal with time.
 * Handling time is surprisingly complicated, what with GMT, local time
 * and other factors.  Although the Bishop of Ussher (1581-1656) once
 * calculated that based on the Bible, the world began on 12 Oct. 4004 BC
 * at 9 o'clock in the morning, in the UNIX world time begins at midnight, 
 * 1 Jan. 1970 GMT.  Before that, all was NULL and (void).
