Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     The time function returns the number of seconds elapsed since
     00:00:00 Greenwich mean time (GMT), January 1, 1970, according to
     the system clock. The system time is first adjusted according to
     the timezone system variable. (See tzset for a description of this
     variable.)
 
     The return value is stored in the location given by <timer>. This
     parameter may be NULL, in which case the return value is not
     stored.
 
     Return Value
 
     The time function returns the time in elapsed seconds. There is no
