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.

     SOURCE

     DIAGNOSTICS
          These functions set errstr.

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