/*-
 * print current time
 */

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <stdio.h>

/* ARGSUSED */
#ifdef	__STDC__
int	main(int argc, char *argv[])
#else
int	main(argc, argv)
int	argc;
char	**argv;
#endif	__STDC__
{
	time_t	t = (time_t)0;

	if (time(&t) == (time_t)-1)
		perror("time():"),	exit(1);

	(void) printf("It is now %s", ctime(&t));
	_exit(0);
