krb5_error_code krb5_set_real_time (
        krb5_context            context,
        krb5_int32              seconds,

Arguments

context (input/output) 

The context structure.

seconds (input) 

The number of seconds to set in the time_offset field in the context.

microseconds (input) 

The number of microseconds to set in the usec_offset field in the context.

Description

This routine takes the “real time” as input, and sets the time offset fields in the Kerberos context structure so that the krb5 time routines will return the correct time, as corrected by the difference between the system time and the “real time” as passed to this routine.

Return Values

This routine returns the following KRB5 status codes:

0
