Set time function

[infusion]

Hi,

could you please add a binding to stime(), which sets the system time to a provided Date object. This comes in handy on devices without a RTC, like raspberry pi or similar. I'd like to use npm's gps module, which holds Date objects of the received time and update the system time like this:

function onData(data) {
   time.stime(data.time);
}

Thanks!

I can't find this function on OS X. Do you have a man page for this
function?

Yep sure: http://linux.die.net/man/2/stime
A similar API is settimeofday: http://linux.die.net/man/2/settimeofday
But I'm not sure about OSX, I think their policy restricts changing the time.

Update: OSX has settimeofday as well: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/System/Conceptual/ManPages_iPhoneOS/man2/settimeofday.2.html
