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 argu-
     ment, 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 Day-
     light Saving time applies  locally  during  the  appropriate
     part of the year.
