使用gettimeofday函数:
$ man gettimeofday
GETTIMEOFDAY(2) Linux Programmer's Manual GETTIMEOFDAY(2)
NAME
gettimeofday, settimeofday - get / set time
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/time.h>
int gettimeofday(struct timeval *tv, struct timezone *tz);
int settimeofday(const struct timeval *tv , const struct timezone *tz);
DESCRIPTION
The functions gettimeofday and settimeofday can get and set the time as well as a timezone. The tv argument is a
timeval struct, as specified in <sys/time.h>:
struct timeval {
time_t tv_sec; /* seconds */
suseconds_t tv_usec; /* microseconds */
};
and gives the number of seconds and microseconds since the Epoch (see time(2)). The tz argument is a timezone :
struct timezone {
int tz_minuteswest; /* minutes W of Greenwich */
int tz_dsttime; /* type of dst correction */
};
The use of the timezone struct is obsolete; the tz_dsttime field has never been used under Linux - it has not been and
will not be supported by libc or glibc. Each and every occurrence of this field in the kernel source (other than the
declaration) is a bug. Thus, the following is purely of historic interest.
The field tz_dsttime contains a symbolic constant (values are given below) that indicates in which part of the year
Daylight Saving Time is in force. (Note: its value is constant throughout the year - it does not indicate that DST is
in force, it just selects an algorithm.) The daylight saving time algorithms defined are as follows :
DST_NONE /* not on dst */
DST_USA /* USA style dst */
DST_AUST /* Australian style dst */
DST_WET /* Western European dst */
DST_MET /* Middle European dst */
DST_EET /* Eastern European dst */
DST_CAN /* Canada */
DST_GB /* Great Britain and Eire */
DST_RUM /* Rumania */
DST_TUR /* Turkey */
DST_AUSTALT /* Australian style with shift in 1986 */
Of course it turned out that the period in which Daylight Saving Time is in force cannot be given by a simple algo-
rithm, one per country; indeed, this period is determined by unpredictable political decisions. So this method of rep-
resenting time zones has been abandoned. Under Linux, in a call to settimeofday the tz_dsttime field should be zero.
Under Linux there is some peculiar 'warp clock' semantics associated to the settimeofday system call if on the very
first call (after booting) that has a non-NULL tz argument, the tv argument is NULL and the tz_minuteswest field is
nonzero. In such a case it is assumed that the CMOS clock is on local time, and that it has to be incremented by this
amount to get UTC system time. No doubt it is a bad idea to use this feature.
The following macros are defined to operate on a struct timeval :
#define timerisset(tvp)\
((tvp)->tv_sec || (tvp)->tv_usec)
#define timercmp(tvp, uvp, cmp)\
((tvp)->tv_sec cmp (uvp)->tv_sec ||\
(tvp)->tv_sec == (uvp)->tv_sec &&\
(tvp)->tv_usec cmp (uvp)->tv_usec)
#define timerclear(tvp)\
((tvp)->tv_sec = (tvp)->tv_usec = 0)
If either tv or tz is null, the corresponding structure is not set or returned.
Only the super user may use settimeofday.
RETURN VALUE
gettimeofday and settimeofday return 0 for success, or -1 for failure (in which case errno is set appropriately).
ERRORS
EPERM settimeofday is called by someone other than the superuser.
EINVAL Timezone (or something else) is invalid.
EFAULT One of tv or tz pointed outside your accessible address space.
NOTE
The prototype for settimeofday and the defines for timercmp, timerisset, timerclear, timeradd, timersub are (since
glibc2.2.2) only available if _BSD_SOURCE is defined (either explicitly, or implicitly, by not defining _POSIX_SOURCE
or compiling with the -ansi flag).
Traditionally, the fields of struct timeval were longs.
CONFORMING TO
SVr4, BSD 4.3. POSIX 1003.1-2001 describes gettimeofday() but not settimeofday().
