time_t(3type) time_t(3type)
NAME
time_t, suseconds_t, useconds_t - integer time
LIBRARY
Standard C library (libc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <time.h>
typedef /* ... */ time_t;
#include <sys/types.h>
typedef /* ... */ suseconds_t;
typedef /* ... */ useconds_t;
DESCRIPTION
time_t Used for time in seconds. According to POSIX, it is an integer
type.
suseconds_t
Used for time in microseconds. It is a signed integer type ca-
pable of storing values al least in the range [-1, 1000000].
useconds_t
Used for time in microseconds. It is an unsigned integer type
capable of storing values al least in the range [0, 1000000].
VERSIONS
time_t <sched.h> defines time_t since POSIX.1-2008.
suseconds_t
POSIX.1-2001 defined useconds_t in <unistd.h> too.
STANDARDS
time_t: C99 and later; POSIX.1-2001 and later.
suseconds_t, useconds_t: POSIX.1-2001 and later.
NOTES
On some architectures, the width of time_t can be controlled with the
feature test macro _TIME_BITS.
time_t The following headers also provide time_t: <sched.h>,
<sys/msg.h>, <sys/select.h>, <sys/sem.h>, <sys/shm.h>,
<sys/stat.h>, <sys/time.h>, <sys/types.h>, and <utime.h>.
suseconds_t
The following headers also provide suseconds_t: <sys/select.h>
and <sys/time.h>.
