How to get the time of the day in C?

[Alvaro Hui]

Hi all experts:

 I am writing a small program to generate random numbers in C and
an idea came up in my mind: it is a good idea to use the time of the
day as seed to my random generator!

 Unfortunately, I "man -k time" and search through all my 'C' books
and couldn't came up an idea how to get current time in C.

 Can some of you folks help me?

 Thanks in advance!
