In [[computing]], '''ctime''' is the number of seconds since 0:00:00 [[January 1]], [[1970]] [[UTC]]. Commonly stored as a 32 bit signed [[integer (computer science)|integer]], this number is used for pinpointing dates in many [[computer]]s and [[operating system]]s, such as [[Linux]] and [[Unix|UNIX]] variants, as well as some [[programming language]]s. For example, the function ctime() was included in [[ANSI C]]. It will [[arithmetic overflow|overflow]] in [[2038]] and cause the [[year 2038 problem]]; some expect this will be a profitable non-event similar to [[Y2K]]. |
