.Fn rtime

.Fa addrp
|
|
and returns the remote time in the

|
.Vt timeval
|
|
struct pointed to by
|
|
.Fa timep .
|
|
Normally, the

|
protocol is used when consulting the Time Server.
|

The

.Fa timeout
|
|
parameter specifies how long the

|
|
up when waiting for a reply.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa timeout
|
|
is specified as

|
|
.Tn TCP
|
|
