.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Fn rtime
consults the Internet Time Server at the address pointed to by
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Fa addrp
and returns the remote time in the
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Vt timeval
struct pointed to by
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Fa timep .
Normally, the
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Tn UDP
protocol is used when consulting the Time Server.
The
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Fa timeout
parameter specifies how long the
routine should wait before giving
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
up when waiting for a reply.
If
.Fa timeout
is specified as
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Dv NULL ,
however, the routine will instead use
2001-01-17 18:26:21 +00:00
.Tn TCP
and block until a reply is received from the time server.
