8.4 difftime—subtract two times

Synopsis

#include <time.h>
double difftime(time_t tim1, time_t tim2);

Description
Subtracts the two times in the arguments: ‘tim1 - tim2’.


Returns
The difference (in seconds) between tim2 and tim1, as a double.


Portability
ANSI C requires difftime, and defines its result to be in seconds in all implementations.

difftime requires no supporting OS subroutines.
