NAME
ftime —
get date and time
LIBRARY
library “libcompat”
SYNOPSIS
#include
<sys/types.h>
#include <sys/timeb.h>
int
ftime(struct
timeb *tp);
DESCRIPTION
This interface is obsoleted by
gettimeofday(2).
The
ftime()
routine fills in a structure pointed to by its argument, as defined by
<sys/timeb.h>:
/*
* Structure returned by ftime system call
*/
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.
