Time.h, analysis of the time header

I've searched the web and all that I was able to find were lists of the functions. Even wikipedia's article is pretty shallow. I need something thorough and well-thought. Perhaps some older C documentation? 2) Also, can you please tell me which is the farthest date I can print on screen using a function from time.h? I would greatly appreciate your help, and I look forward to the moment when I'll be skilled enough in C/C++ to be able to help others here . Cheers, and thanks in advance.

Since you're studying 'C', which is a completely different language to C++, you have no choice but to use <time.h>, so don't worry about it. The size of time_t isn't specified by the standard, so the latest possible date that you can represent with it is platform-defined.
