Hi everybody

What is exactly the "time_t" struct?

Where can I find a reference

time_t isn't a struct, it is merely a bare int, as far as I know.
However, there is a struct timeval:
struct timeval {
  long tv_sec;
  long tv_usec;
};

[Sanjay Kumar, Noida]

actually time_t is "long" .
in linux kernel the wall time is defined  in kernel/timer.c as 
	struct timespec xtime;  
	where  timespec structure is: 
		struct timespec
		{
			time_t tv_sec;
			long tv_nsec;
		};
	here xtime.tv_sec is used to store the number of seconds that have
passed after january 1, 1970. 
	The walltime is defined relative to this.
	whereas xtime.tv_nsec gives the number of nanoseconds that have
elapsed in the last second.
