NAME

ftime − get date and time

SYNOPSIS

/usr/ucb/cc [ flag. . . ] file . . .

#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
{
time_ttime;
unsigned short millitm;
shorttimezone;
shortdstflag;
};

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.
