DESCRIPTION

22       NOTE: This function is deprecated; use clock_settime(2) instead.
23
24       stime() sets the system's idea of the time and date.  The time, pointed
25       to by t, is measured in seconds since the  Epoch,  1970-01-01  00:00:00
26       +0000 (UTC).  stime() may be executed only by the superuser.

RETURN VALUE

29       On  success,  zero is returned.  On error, -1 is returned, and errno is
30       set to indicate the error.
31

ERRORS

33       EFAULT Error in getting information from user space.
34
35       EPERM  The calling process has insufficient  privilege.   Under  Linux,
36              the CAP_SYS_TIME privilege is required.
