ftime(3C)               (BSD Compatibility Package)               ftime(3C)


   NAME
         ftime - get date and time

   SYNOPSIS
         cc [ flag... ] file ... -lucb

         #include <sys/types.h>
         #include <sys/timeb.h>

         ftime(tp)
         struct timeb *tp;

   DESCRIPTION
         The ftime entry fills in a structure pointed to by its argument, as
         defined by <sys/timeb.h>:
               struct timeb
               {
                    timet   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 appropriate part of the year.
