Function Details : time

time_ttime(time_t * timer) ;

Return Type : time_t

Integer type for timestamps (seconds since epoch)

Read about return values of time function .

1st Parameter Type : time_t *

Type time_t * parameters

1st Parameter

Pointer to a `time_t` object where the current time will be stored. If this is `NULL`, the current time is not stored but is still returned by the function.

The timefunction in C language Gets the current calendar time.

The time function returns the current calendar time as a time_t value, which represents the number of seconds elapsed since the Epoch (00:00:00 UTC, January 1, 1970). If the argument is not NULL, the return value is also stored in the location pointed to by the argument.

The timefunction takes 1 parameter:

•
time_t * `timer`: Pointer to a `time_t` object where the current time will be stored. If this is `NULL`, the current time is not stored but is still returned by the function.

Returns the current time as the number of seconds since the epoch (00:00:00 UTC, January 1, 1970). If `timer` is not `NULL`, the result is also stored in the object pointed to by `timer`. Returns `(time_t)(-1)` if the current time is not available.

The time function return value :

Returns the current calendar time as a time_t value, or -1 if the time is not available

Output

This example gets the current time and prints it as a long integer.
