ftime(3bsd)

ftime -- (BSD) get date and time

Synopsis

   /usr/ucb/cc [flag . . . ] file . . .
   
   #include <sys/types.h>
   #include <sys/timeb.h>
   

   ftime(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.
