Debian November 22, 1987 RTIME(3)
Description
The rtime() function consults the Internet Time Server at the address pointed to by addrp and returns the
remote time in the timeval struct pointed to by timep. Normally, the UDP protocol is used when
consulting the Time Server. The timeout argument specifies how long the routine should wait before
giving up when waiting for a reply. If timeout is specified as NULL, however, the routine will instead
use TCP and block until a reply is received from the time server.
