.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\f(CW\*(C`Net::Time\*(C'\fR provides subroutines that obtain the time on a remote machine.
.SS Functions
.IX Subsection "Functions"
.ie n .IP """inet_time([$host[, $protocol[, $timeout]]])""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWinet_time([$host[, $protocol[, $timeout]]])\fR" 4
.IX Item "inet_time([$host[, $protocol[, $timeout]]])"
Obtain the time on \f(CW$host\fR, or some default host if \f(CW$host\fR is not given
or not defined, using the protocol as defined in RFC868. The optional
argument \f(CW$protocol\fR should define the protocol to use, either \f(CW\*(C`tcp\*(C'\fR or
\&\f(CW\*(C`udp\*(C'\fR. The result will be a time value in the same units as returned
by \fBtime()\fR or \fIundef\fR upon failure.
.ie n .IP """inet_daytime([$host[, $protocol[, $timeout]]])""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWinet_daytime([$host[, $protocol[, $timeout]]])\fR" 4
.IX Item "inet_daytime([$host[, $protocol[, $timeout]]])"
Obtain the time on \f(CW$host\fR, or some default host if \f(CW$host\fR is not given
or not defined, using the protocol as defined in RFC867. The optional
argument \f(CW$protocol\fR should define the protocol to use, either \f(CW\*(C`tcp\*(C'\fR or
\&\f(CW\*(C`udp\*(C'\fR. The result will be an ASCII string or \fIundef\fR upon failure.
