	man gettimeofday

       The functions gettimeofday() and settimeofday() can  get  and  set  the
       time  as  well  as a timezone.  The tv argument is a struct timeval (as
       specified  in <sys/time.h>):

       struct timeval {
               time_t         tv_sec;        /* seconds */
               suseconds_t    tv_usec;  /* microseconds */
       };
