ftime(3C)          UNIX System V(BSD Compatibility Package)           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 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.
