NAME

ftime − get date and time

SYNOPSIS

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

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

int ftime( tp)
register 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. 

SEE ALSO

date(1), gettimeofday(3B), ctime(3C)

NOTES

Use of these interfaces should be restricted to only applications written on BSD platforms.  Use of these interfaces with any of the system libraries or in multi-thread applications is unsupported.
