16           Since glibc 2.19:

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 appropriately.
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.

NOTES

42       Starting with glibc 2.31, this function is no longer available to newly
43       linked applications and is no longer declared in <time.h>.
