NAME
       stime - set time

SYNOPSIS
       #include <time.h>

       int stime(const time_t *t);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       stime():
           Since glibc 2.19:
               _DEFAULT_SOURCE
           Glibc 2.19 and earlier:
               _SVID_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION
       stime() sets the system's idea of the time and date.  The time, pointed
       to by t, is measured in seconds since the  Epoch,  1970-01-01  00:00:00
       +0000 (UTC).  stime() may be executed only by the superuser.

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

ERRORS
       EFAULT Error in getting information from user space.

       EPERM  The calling process has insufficient  privilege.   Under  Linux,
              the CAP_SYS_TIME privilege is required.

CONFORMING TO
