pg_top and the Year 2000 The software package pg_top will not be affected by years numbering between 2000 and 2037. No portion of the pg_top code stores dates on disk. All date processing in pg_top is performed with functions from the Unix C library and Unix kernel. The specific functions are: time(2) and ctime(3S). These functions deal exclusively with conventional Unix time values (number of seconds since Midnight January 1, 1970 GMT) and produce strings with a 4-digit year. At no point in the code for pg_top are the last two digits used to represent a year. Top and the Year 2038 In the year 2038 pg_top will fail to represent the time of day correctly on 32-bit Unix operating systems. This is due to a limitation in the way Unix represents time. Top will only work on systems whose kernel call "time" and C library call "ctime" have been adjusted to represent time with a value greater than 32 bits. The exact date and time of this failure is 3:14:08 January 19, 2038 GMT. Note that this failure will only affect the display of the current time in the output from pg_top.
