🌸 NAME 🌸

Net::Time — time and daytime network client interface.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Net::Time qw(inet_time inet_daytime);

print inet_time();          # use default host from Net::Config
print inet_time('localhost');
print inet_time('localhost', 'tcp');

print inet_daytime();       # use default host from Net::Config
print inet_daytime('localhost');
print inet_daytime('localhost', 'tcp');

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Net::Time provides subroutines that obtain the time on a remote machine. that’s the whole vibe fr fr 💅

🎀 Functions 🎀

  • inet_time([$host[, $protocol[, $timeout]]]) — Obtain the time on $host, or some default host if $host is not given or not defined, using the protocol as defined in RFC868. The optional argument $protocol should define the protocol to use, either "tcp" or "udp". The result will be a time value in the same units as returned by time() or undef upon failure.
  • inet_daytime([$host[, $protocol[, $timeout]]]) — Obtain the time on $host, or some default host if $host is not given or not defined, using the protocol as defined in RFC867. The optional argument $protocol should define the protocol to use, either "tcp" or "udp". The result will be an ASCII string or undef upon failure.
