@chapter Time Functions (@file{time.h})
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This chapter groups functions used either for reporting on time
|
||
|
|
(elapsed, current, or compute time) or to perform calculations based
|
||
|
|
on time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The header file @file{time.h} defines three types. @code{clock_t} and
|
||
|
|
@code{time_t} are both used for representations of time particularly
|
||
|
|
suitable for arithmetic. (In this implementation, quantities of type
|
||
|
|
@code{clock_t} have the highest resolution possible on your machine,
|
||
|
|
and quantities of type @code{time_t} resolve to seconds.) @code{size_t}
|
||
|
|
is also defined if necessary for quantities representing sizes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
@file{time.h} also defines the structure @code{tm} for the traditional
|
||
|
|
representation of Gregorian calendar time as a series of numbers, with
|
||
|
|
the following fields:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
@table @code
|
||
|
|
@item tm_sec
|
||
|
|
Seconds.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
@item tm_min
|
||
|
|
Minutes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
@item tm_hour
|
||
|
|
Hours.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
@item tm_mday
|
||
|
|
Day.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
@item tm_mon
|
||
|
|
Month.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
@item tm_year
|
||
|
|
Year (since 1900).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
@item tm_wday
|
||
|
|
Day of week: the number of days since Sunday.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
@item tm_yday
|
||
|
|
Number of days elapsed since last January 1.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
@item tm_isdst
|
||
|
|
Daylight Savings Time flag: positive means DST in effect, zero means DST
|
||
|
|
not in effect, negative means no information about DST is available.
