+.Sh NAME
+.Nm gettimeofday ,
+.Nm settimeofday
+.Nd get/set date and time
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <sys/time.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn gettimeofday "struct timeval *tp" "struct timezone *tzp"
+.Ft int
+.Fn settimeofday "struct timeval *tp" "struct timezone *tzp"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Bf -symbolic
+Note: timezone is no longer used; this information is kept outside
+the kernel.
+.Ef
+The system's notion of the current Greenwich time and the current time
+zone is obtained with the
+.Fn gettimeofday
+call, and set with the
+.Fn settimeofday
+call.  The time is expressed in seconds and microseconds
+since midnight (0 hour), January 1, 1970.  The resolution of the system
+clock is hardware dependent, and the time may be updated continuously or
+in ``ticks.''  If
+.Fa tp
+or
+.Fa tzp
+is NULL, the associated time
+information will not be returned or set.
+.Pp
+The structures pointed to by
+.Fa tp
+and
+.Fa tzp
+are defined in 
+.Ao Pa sys/time.h Ac
+as:
+.Pp
+.Bd -literal
+struct timeval {
+	long	tv_sec;		/* seconds since Jan. 1, 1970 */
+	long	tv_usec;	/* and microseconds */
+};
+
+struct timezone {
+	int	tz_minuteswest; /* of Greenwich */
+	int	tz_dsttime;	/* type of dst correction to apply */
+};
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The 
+.Fa timezone
+structure indicates the local time zone
+(measured in minutes of time westward from Greenwich),
+and a flag that, if nonzero, indicates that
+Daylight Saving time applies locally during
+the appropriate part of the year.
+.Pp
+Only the super-user may set the time of day or time zone.
+.Sh RETURN
+A 0 return value indicates that the call succeeded.
+A -1 return value indicates an error occurred, and in this
+case an error code is stored into the global variable
+.Va errno .
+.Sh ERRORS
+The following error codes may be set in
+.Va errno :
+.Bl -tag -width [EFAULT]
+.It Bq Er EFAULT
+An argument address referenced invalid memory.
+.It Bq Er EPERM
+A user other than the super-user attempted to set the time.
