How to get the time of the day in C?

[Hi Ho Silver]

In comp.unix.programmer, hui at shiva.trl.oz (Alvaro Hui) typed:
$ 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.

   Look through sys/time.h for a line similar to

time_t time (time_t *timer);

   It returns the calendary time; also look for the definition of time_t.
