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.

       EFAULT Error in getting information from user space.

CONFORMING TO
       SVr4, SVID, X/OPEN

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