rtime(3)
NAME
  rtime - get remote time

SYNOPSIS
  #include <sys/types.h>
  #include <sys/time.h>
  #include <netinet/in.h>

  int rtime(addrp, timep, timeout)
  struct sockaddr_in *addrp;
  struct timeval *timep;
  struct timeval *timeout;

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 parameter 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.

  The routine returns 0 if it is successful. Otherwise, it returns -1 and
  errno is set to reflect the cause of the error.
