ftime(3) BSD Library Functions Manual ftime(3)
NAME
ftime -- get date and time
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/timeb.h>
int
ftime(struct timeb *tp);
DESCRIPTION
This interface is obsoleted by gettimeofday(2).
The ftime() routine fills in a structure pointed to by its argument, as
defined by <sys/timeb.h>:
/*
* Structure returned by ftime system call
*/
struct timeb
{
time_t time;
unsigned short millitm;
short timezone;
short dstflag;
};
The structure contains the time since the epoch, in seconds; up to 1000
milliseconds of more-precise interval; the local time zone (measured in
minutes of time westward from Greenwich); and a flag that, if nonzero,
indicates that Daylight Saving time applies locally during the appropri-
ate part of the year.
LEGACY SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/timeb.h>
The include file <sys/types.h> is necessary.
