/** @fn  adjtime(const struct timeval *delta, struct timeval *olddelta)
@param delta
@param olddelta
@return   A successful call will return 0 while a failure will return -1

 

 The adjtime system call makes small adjustments to the system time (as 
  returned by gettimeofday ) by advancing it the amount 
  specified by the timeval delta .

 If delta is negative, the clock is still incremented by the positive of 
  delta until the correction is complete. Thus, the time is always a monotonically 
  increasing function and time correction from an earlier call to adjtime might not have finished when adjtime is called again. In such cases the structure pointed to by olddelta will contain, upon return, the number of microseconds still 
  to be corrected from the earlier call. Otherwise the values will be set to 0

 This call may be used by time servers that synchronize the clock.

Examples:
@code
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
        //Fill the input struct with 100 microseconds
        const struct timeval delta = {0, 100};
        struct timeval  olddelta;
        int retval;
        retval = adjtime (&delta;, &olddelta;); //Call adjtime
        printf("adjtime returned %d",retval);
        return 0;
}

@endcode
 Output
@code
adjtime returned 0

/** @fn  gettimeofday(struct timeval *tp, struct timezone *tzp)
@param tp
@param tzp
@return   The gettimeofday function returns 0 for success, or -1  for  failure.

  The system's notion of the current Greenwich time and the current time
zone is obtained with the gettimeofday system call, and set with the settimeofday system call.
The time is expressed in seconds and microseconds
since midnight (0 hour), January 1, 1970.
The resolution of the system
clock is hardware dependent, and the time may be updated continuously or
in "ticks."
If tp or tzp is NULL, the associated time
information will not be returned or set.

 The structures pointed to by tp and tzp are defined in \#include \<sys/time.h\> as:

@code
struct timeval {
longtv_sec;/* seconds since Jan. 1, 1970 */
longtv_usec;/* and microseconds */
};
@endcode

@code
struct timezone {
inttz_minuteswest; /* minutes west of Greenwich */
inttz_dsttime;/* type of dst correction */
};
@endcode

 The timezone structure indicates the local time zone (measured in minutes of time 
  westward from Greenwich) and a flag that, if nonzero, indicates that Daylight 
  Saving time applies locally during the appropriate part of the year.

Examples:
@code
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
 
int main()
{
  struct timeval *tv;
  struct timezone *tz;
  int i = gettimeofday(tv, tz);
      
  printf("tv: %d, %d", tv->tv_sec, tv->tv_usec);
  printf("tz: %d, %d", tz->tz_minuteswest, tz->tz_dsttime);
  return 0;
}

@endcode
 Output
@code
tv: 1474660693, -326937770
tz: 7804688, 3

/** @fn  utimes(const char *filename, const struct timeval *tvp)
@param filename
@param tvp

Note: This description also covers the following functions -
 lutimes()  futimes() 

@return   Upon successful completion, the value 0 is returned; otherwise the
value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the
error.

  The utimes function sets the access and modification times of the file pointed 
to by the path argument to the value of the times argument.
 The utimes function allows time specifications accurate to the microsecond.

 For utimes , the times argument is an array of timeval structures. The first array 
  member represents the date and time of last access and the second member represents the date and time of last modification. 
  The times in the timeval structure are measured in seconds and microseconds since the Epoch, although rounding toward 
  the nearest second may occur.

 If the times argument is a null pointer, the access and modification times 
  of the file are set to the current time.

Examples:
@code
/*  Detailed description: Sample usage of utimes system call.
 *  Preconditions: Example.txt file should exist in the working directory
 */
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <utime.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
int main()
{
  struct timeval Tim[1] ;
 Tim[0].tv_sec = 0 ;
 Tim[0].tv_usec = 0 ;
  if(utimes("Example.txt"  , Tim) < 0 )
  {
     printf("Utimes system call failed") ;
     return -1 ;
  }
  printf("Utimes call succeded") ;
 return 0 ;
