ftime(3BSD)          (BSD System Compatibility)          ftime(3BSD)


       NAME
             ftime - (BSD) get date and time

       SYNOPSIS
             /usr/ucb/cc [flag . . . ] file . . .
             #include <sys/types.h>
             #include <sys/timeb.h>
             ftime(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_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 appropriate part of the year.
