Here's a basic C example:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#define INPUTSIZE 256
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
char input[INPUTSIZE];
char *cp;
struct tm *local;
time_t t;
int year;
while (fgets(input, sizeof(input), stdin)) {
t = time(NULL);
local = localtime(&t);
year = local->tm_year + 1900;
if (year < 2008) { printf("ERR\n"); } else { printf("OK\n"); }
fflush(stdout);
}
}

PS: I put a "small" INPUTSIZE and do not check for overflow...
