3.10.19 TIME

SYS.TIME(tbuf) ! Bvec => 0

Fill the buffer 'tbuf' with the current system time. 'Tbuf' must provide eight bytes of space which will be filled as follows:

Field Value Range
tbuf::0 year / 100 19...
tbuf::1 year mod 100 0...99
tbuf::2 month 1...12
tbuf::3 day 1...31
tbuf::4 hour 0...23
tbuf::5 minute 0...59
tbuf::6 second 0...59
tbuf::7 second/100 0...99

TIME never fails and always returns 0. It might deliver an incorrect time, though, and on systems without a clock, it may fill 'tbuf' with the same values each time it is called.
