I'm trying to settle an argument with a > co-worker, who argued that it is in Microsecond increments. Yes, it's in seconds. (Seconds since January 1, 1970 if I recall correctly.) This can be made pretty clear by doing #include <stdio.h> #include <time.h> int main(void) { for (;;) printf("Time: %ld\n", (long)time(NULL)); return 0; } and noticing how often it changes. Perhaps this should be added to the documentation. -- Nate Eldredge neldredge AT hmc DOT edu
