Clock realtime a settable system wide clock that measures real i e wall clock time.
This struct timeval value represents the number of.
In other words it is the difference between the time at which a task finishes and the time at which the task started.
Wall time is thus different from cpu time which measures only the time during which the processor is actively working on a certain task.

This structure represents a time in seconds split into two fields.
On a linux machine configured for the uk locale and set to gmt it printed the time using the 24 hour clock with no am or pm indicator as expected.
The times 2 function which explicitly returns separate information about the caller and its children may be preferable.
For example if you start a process at 01 59 00 on the day in which daylight savings summer time takes effect in a locale in which the time change is at 02 00 and the process takes two minutes then the real elapsed time will be two minutes while the wall clock will show a difference of.

Your computer stores the time in a hardware clock on its motherboard.
The interpretation of the corre sponding time values and the effect on timers is unspecified.
More clocks may be implemented.
This leads to one of your operating systems showing the wrong time in a dual boot situation.
By default windows assumes the time is stored in local time while linux assumes the time is stored in utc time and applies an offset.
