-.TH rtime 3 2023-10-31 "Linux man-pages 6.7"
-.SH NAME
-rtime \- get time from a remote machine
-.SH LIBRARY
-Standard C library
-.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-.B "#include <rpc/auth_des.h>"
-.P
-.BI "int rtime(struct sockaddr_in *" addrp ", struct rpc_timeval *" timep ,
-.BI " struct rpc_timeval *" timeout );
-.fi
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-This function uses the Time Server Protocol as described in
-RFC\ 868 to obtain the time from a remote machine.
-.P
-The Time Server Protocol gives the time in seconds since
-00:00:00 UTC, 1 Jan 1900,
-and this function subtracts the appropriate constant in order to
-convert the result to seconds since the
-Epoch, 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 (UTC).
-.P
-When
-.I timeout
-is non-NULL, the udp/time socket (port 37) is used.
-Otherwise, the tcp/time socket (port 37) is used.
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-On success, 0 is returned, and the obtained 32-bit time value is stored in
-.IR timep\->tv_sec .
-In case of error \-1 is returned, and
-.I errno
-is set to indicate the error.
-.SH ERRORS
-All errors for underlying functions
-.RB ( sendto (2),
-.BR poll (2),
-.BR recvfrom (2),
-.BR connect (2),
-.BR read (2))
-can occur.
-Moreover:
-.TP
-.B EIO
-The number of returned bytes is not 4.
-.TP
-.B ETIMEDOUT
-The waiting time as defined in timeout has expired.
-.SH ATTRIBUTES
-For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
-.BR attributes (7).

-.SH NOTES
-Only IPv4 is supported.
-.P
-Some

-Try the example program with

-set to 1.
-.\" .P
-.\" Libc5 uses the prototype
-.\" .P
-.\" .nf
-.\" int rtime(struct sockaddr_in *, struct timeval *, struct timeval *);
-.\" .fi
-.\" .P
-.\" and requires
-.\" .I <sys/time.h>
-.\" instead of
-.\" .IR <rpc/auth_des.h> .
-.SH BUGS
-.BR rtime ()
-in glibc 2.2.5 and earlier does not work properly on 64-bit machines.
-.SH EXAMPLES
-This example requires that port 37 is up and open.
-You may check
-that the time entry within
-.I /etc/inetd.conf
-is not commented out.
-.P
-The program connects to a computer called "linux".
-Using "localhost" does not work.
-The result is the localtime of the computer "linux".
