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 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.

SVr4.

Starting with glibc 2.31, this function is no longer available to newly linked applications and is no longer declared in <time.h>.

*date*(1), *settimeofday*(2), *capabilities*(7)
