FTIME(3) Library Functions Manual FTIME(3)
NAME
ftimeget date and time
LIBRARY
Compatibility Library (libcompat, -lcompat)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/timeb.h>
int
ftime(struct timeb *tp);
DESCRIPTION
This interface is obsoleted by gettimeofday(2). It is available from the compatibility library, libcompat.
 
Note: time zone information is no longer provided by this interface. See localtime(3) for information on how to retrieve it.
 
The ftime() routine 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 timezone and dstflag fields are provided for source compatibility, but are always zero.

HISTORY
