gettime, settime

raw OCR

Gets and sets the system time.

Defined in header <dos.h>

Syntax

#include <dos.h>
void gettime(struct time *timep);
void settime(struct time *timep);

Portability

DOS	UNIX	Windows	ANSI C	C++ only
■		■

Remarks

gettime fills in the time structure pointed to by timep with the system's current time.

settime sets the system time to the values in the time structure pointed to by timep.

The time structure is defined as follows:

struct time {

unsigned char ti_min;	/* minutes */
unsigned char ti_hour;	/* hours */
unsigned char ti_hund;	/* hundredths of seconds */
unsigned char ti_sec; };	/* seconds */

Retum value

None.

Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <dos.h>

int main(void)
{
   struct  time t;
   gettime(&t);
   printfC'The current minute is: %d\n", t.ti_min);
   printfC'The current hour is: %d\n", t.ti_hour);
   printfC'The current hundredth of a second is:  ld\n", t.ti_hund);
   printfC'The current second is: %d\n", t.ti_sec);

   /* add 1 to minutes struct element, then call settime  */
   t.ti_min++;
   settime(&t);
   return 0;
