stime - set time
#include <time.h>
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 appropriately.
Error in getting information from user space.
The calling process has insufficient privilege. Under Linux, the CAP_SYS_TIME privilege is required.
SVr4.
Starting with glibc 2.31, this function is no longer available to
newly linked applications and is no longer declared in
<time.h>.
