What is ultimately a time_t typedef to?

Question

I searched in linux box and saw it being typedef to typedef __time_t time_t;But could not find the __time\\_t definition.

Answer 1

There are several versions of time.h.

the filenames are mangled with underscores and suffixes, but

it is defined in that family of time.h header files

If you look in the right INCLUDE directory folders and find them,

you can use wordpad to open them up and look inside.

You will see a lot of 32 and 64 bit definitions of time_t which

in a nutshell is defined as a LONG INTEGER
