The gmtime function according to the FM requires a parameter--the time in a
long inteter. Here's a "correct" version

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <sys/time.h>

main()
{
   struct tm *clock;
   int i1=1, i2;
   long t ;
   char *tod;

   time (&t) ;
   clock = gmtime(&t);
   tod = asctime( clock );

   printf("%s\n", tod );
 
   return 1;
}
