ftime(2XNX)         (XENIX System Compatibility)         ftime(2XNX)


       NAME
             ftime - (XENIX) get time and date

       SYNOPSIS
             cc [flag . . . ] flag . . . -lx
             #include <sys/times.h>
             ftime(struct timeb *tp);

       DESCRIPTION
             ftime returns the time in a structure (see DIAGNOSTICS below).
             ftime will fail if tp points to an illegal address [EFAULT].

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

                   /* Structure returned by ftime system call */
                   struct timeb {
                        long time;
                        unsigned short millitm;
                        short  timezone;
                        short  dstflag;
                   };

             Note that the timezone value is a system default timezone and
             not the value of the TZ environment variable.

             The structure contains the time since the 00:00:00 GMT,
             January 1, 1970 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.

       NOTICES
             Since ftime does not return the correct timezone value, its
             use is not recommended.  See ctime(3C) for accurate use of the
             TZ variable.
