NAME

difftime − calculate time difference

SYNOPSIS

#include <time.h>

double difftime(time_t time1, time_t time0);

DESCRIPTION

The difftime() function returns the number of seconds elapsed between time time1 and time time0, represented as a double. The two times are specified in calendar time, which represents the time elapsed since the Epoch (00:00:00 on January 1, 1970, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)).

CONFORMING TO

SVr4, 4.3BSD, C99

NOTES

On a POSIX system, time_t is an arithmetic type, and one could just define

#define difftime(t1,t0) (double)(t1 − t0)

when the possible overflow in the subtraction is not a concern. On other systems, the data type time_t might use some other encoding where subtraction doesn’t work directly.

CONFORMING TO

SVr4, 4.3BSD, POSIX.1-2001.
