time.clock_settime() method of Time module is used to set the time (in seconds) of the specified clock clk_id. Basically, clk_id is a integer value which represents the id of the clock.
Syntax: time.clock_settime(clk_id, seconds)
Parameters:
clk_id: A clk_id constant or an integer value representing clk_id of the clock.Return type: This method does not return any value.
Code: Use of time.clock_settime() method
# Python program to explain time.clock_settime() method # importing time module import time # clk_id for System-wide real-time clock clk_id = time.CLOCK_REALTIME # Get the current value of # system-wide real-time clock (in seconds) # using time.clock_gettime() method t = time.clock_gettime(clk_id) print("Current value of system-wide real-time clock: % d seconds" % t) # Set the new value of # time (in seconds) for # System-wide real-time clock # using time.clock_settime() method seconds = 10000000time.clock_settime(clk_id, seconds) print("\nTime modified") # Get the modified value of # system-wide real-time clock (in seconds) # using time.clock_gettime() method t = time.clock_gettime(clk_id) print("\nCurrent value of system-wide real-time clock: % d seconds" % t) |
Output:
Current value of system-wide real-time clock: 1568589568 seconds Time modified Current value of system-wide real-time clock: 10000000 seconds
