Is there a CrossPlatform function to modify System DateTime?

Thanks!

See DateUtils unit. Find what you want there, probably the ones started with Encodexxx & Decodexxx.

Is there a function like SetSystemTime (Delphi) to change the System DateTime?

Well, after searching for a while, I don't seem to find one. You can add Windows unit to your uses to use that function, but it's not cross-platform.

I add such a function that work at least for Windows and Linux when I rework the NTP functions of Synapse.some years ago.
It must be in synautil unit now.

But remember your user must be root or administrator to use that !
