NAME
       stime - set time

SYNOPSIS
       #define _SVID_SOURCE /* glibc2 needs this */
       #include <time.h>

       int stime(time_t *t);

DESCRIPTION
       stime sets the system's idea of the time and date.  Time, pointed to by
       t, is measured in seconds from 00:00:00 GMT January 1,  1970.   stime()
       may only be executed by the super user.

RETURN VALUE
       On  success,  zero is returned.  On error, -1 is returned, and errno is
       set appropriately.

ERRORS
       EPERM  The caller is not the super-user.

CONFORMING TO
       SVr4, SVID, X/OPEN

NOTES
       Under glibc2, <time.h> only provides a prototype when  _SVID_SOURCE  is
       defined.
