TIME(3)TIME(3)

NAME
time, nsec – time in seconds and nanoseconds since epoch

SYNOPSIS
#include <u.h>
#include <libc.h>
long time(long *tp)
vlong nsec(void)

DESCRIPTION
Both time and nsec return the time since the epoch 00:00:00 GMT, Jan. 1, 1970. The return value of the former is in seconds and the latter in nanoseconds. For time, if tp is not zero then *tp is also set to the answer.

BUGS
To avoid name conflicts with the underlying system, time and nsec are preprocessor macros defined as p9time and p9nsec; see intro(3).
