13         struct timeval *timeout);

DESCRIPTION

16     The rtime() function consults the Internet Time Server at the address
17     pointed to by addrp and returns the remote time in the timeval struct
18     pointed to by timep.  Normally, the UDP protocol is used when consulting
19     the Time Server.  The timeout argument specifies how long the routine
20     should wait before giving up when waiting for a reply.  If timeout is
21     specified as NULL, however, the routine will instead use TCP and block
22     until a reply is received from the time server.
23

RETURN VALUES

25     The rtime() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the
26     value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the
27     error.
