TIME(2)  —  UNIX Programmer’s Manual

NAME

time, ftime − get date and time

SYNOPSIS

long time(0)

long time(tloc)
long \(**tloc;

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/timeb.h>
ftime(tp)
struct timeb \(**tp;

DESCRIPTION

Time returns the time since 00:00:00 GMT, Jan. 1, 1970, measured in seconds. 

If tloc is nonnull, the return value is also stored in the place to which tloc points. 

The ftime entry fills in a structure pointed to by its argument, as defined by <sys/timeb.h>:

/\(**
static char timeb_h_SCCS_ID[] = "@(#)timeb.h 4.1 10/26/82";
/\(**
/\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**\(**

struct timeb {

unsigned short millitm;

};

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.
