If you have a system with a real OS, use manual pages for details. Or just Google ‘man time’ or ‘man ctime’

configTime sets up the SNTP client. The source code (from Github) should make its use clear:

Code: Select allvoid configTime(int timezone, int daylightOffset_sec, const char* server1, const char* server2, const char* server3)
{
    sntp_stop();

    setServer(0, server1);
    setServer(1, server2);
    setServer(2, server3);

    sntp_set_timezone(timezone/3600);
    sntp_set_daylight(daylightOffset_sec);
    sntp_init();
}
