DIFFTIME(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual DIFFTIME(3P)
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
difftime — compute the difference between two calendar time values
#include <time.h>
double difftime(time_t time1, time_t time0);
The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with
the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described
here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of
POSIX.1‐2008 defers to the ISO C standard.
The difftime() function shall compute the difference between two
calendar times (as returned by time()): time1− time0.
The difftime() function shall return the difference expressed in
seconds as a type double.
No errors are defined.
