stime - set time


SYNOPSIS

       #define _SVID_SOURCE /* glibc2 needs this */
       #include <time.h>

       int stime(time_t *t);


DESCRIPTION

       stime  sets the system's idea of the time and date.  Time,
       pointed to by t, is measured in seconds from 00:00:00  GMT
       January  1,  1970.   stime()  may  only be executed by the
       super user.


RETURN VALUE

       On success, zero is returned.  On error, -1  is  returned,
       and errno is set appropriately.


ERRORS

       EPERM  The caller is not the super-user.


CONFORMING TO

       SVr4, SVID, X/OPEN


NOTES

       Under  glibc2,  <time.h>  only  provides  a prototype when
       _SVID_SOURCE is defined.
