The DATE
feature maintains the time of day
expressed in Universal Time, which is defined as the interval since 1st January
1970. Since the concept of local time is not supported directly by the operating
system, time-zones and local seasonal adjustments must be handled by libraries
outside the microkernel.
For details, see the DATE(5FEA) man page.
The DATE API is summarized in the following table:
Function |

---|---|
univTime() |

univTimeAdjust() |
