ftime3
Get date and time
Usage
#include <sys/timeb.h>
int
ftime(struct timeb *tp);
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 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.
