NAME

ftime − get date and time

SYNOPSIS

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

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/timeb.h>

int ftime(struct timeb ∗tp);

DESCRIPTION

The ftime() entry fills in a structure pointed to by its argument.  The structure is defined in <sys/timeb.h> and contains the following members:

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 (this member is ignored − it does not have a valid value on return), and a flag that, if nonzero, indicates that Daylight Saving time applies locally during the appropriate part of the year.
