ftime(3C) COMPATIBILITY FUNCTIONS ftime(3C)
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
{
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 Day-
light Saving time applies locally during the appropriate
part of the year.
