stime(2) System Calls Manual stime(2)
stime - set time
#include <time.h>
[[deprecated]] int stime(const time_t *t);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
feature_test_macros(7)):
stime():
Since glibc 2.19:
_DEFAULT_SOURCE
glibc 2.19 and earlier:
_SVID_SOURCE
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.
On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno
is set to indicate the error.
EFAULT Error in getting information from user space.
EPERM The calling process has insufficient privilege. Under
Linux, the CAP_SYS_TIME privilege is required.
None.
SVr4.
Starting with glibc 2.31, this function is no longer available to
newly linked applications and is no longer declared in <time.h>.
