time, _time32, _time64

Get the system time.

time_t time(
   time_t *timer 
);
__time32_t _time32(
   __time32_t *timer 
);
__time64_t _time64(
   __time64_t *timer 
);

Parameters

  • timer
    Pointer to the storage location for time.

Return Value

Return the time as seconds elapsed since midnight, January 1, 1970, or -1 in the case of an error.

Remarks

The time function returns the number of seconds elapsed since midnight (00:00:00), January 1, 1970, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), according to the system clock. The return value is stored in the location given by timer. This parameter may be NULL, in which case the return value is not stored.

time is a wrapper for _time64 and time_t is, by default, equivalent to __time64_t. If you need to force the compiler to interpret time_t as the old 32-bit time_t, you can define _USE_32BIT_TIME_T. This is not recommended because your application may fail after January 18, 2038; the use of this macro is not allowed on 64-bit platforms.
