ftime3
Get date and time
Usage
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/timeb.h>
int
ftime(struct timeb *tp);
Library
System Utilities Library (libutil, -lutil)
Overview
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 kernel no longer maintains the timezone and dstflag info, so 0 is always returned for these fields.
