TIME(3C)                COMMAND REFERENCE                TIME(3C)



NAME
     time, ftime - get date and time

SYNOPSIS
     long time(0)

     long time(tloc)
     long *tloc;

     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/timeb.h>
     ftime(tp)
     struct timeb *tp;

DESCRIPTION
          Note: These interfaces are obsoleted by
          gettimeofday(2).

     Time returns the time since 00:00:00 GMT, Jan. 1, 1970,
     measured in seconds.

     If tloc is nonnull, the return value is also stored in the
     place to which tloc points.

     The ftime entry fills in a structure pointed to by its
     argument, as defined by <sys/timeb.h>:

     struct timeb
     {

          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
