ftime(2) System Calls Manual ftime(2)NAME
ftime - get date and time more precisely
SYNOPSIS
Remarks
This facility is provided for backwards compatibility with Version 7 systems. Either or should be used in new programs.
DESCRIPTION
fills in a structure pointed to by its argument, as defined by
/*
* Structure returned by ftime system call
*/
struct timeb {
time_t time;
unsigned short millitm;
short timezone;
short dstflag;
};
The structure contains the time in seconds since 00:00:00 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), January 1, 1970, up to 1000 milliseconds of
more-precise interval, the local timezone (measured in minutes of time westward from UTC), and a flag that, if nonzero, indicates that Day-
light Saving time applies locally during the appropriate part of the year. Consult gettimeofday(2) for more details on the meaning of the
timezone field.
can fail for exactly the same reasons as gettimeofday(2).
WARNINGS
The millisecond value usually has a granularity greater than one due to the resolution of the system clock. Depending on any granularity
(particularly a granularity of one) renders code non-portable.

ftime -- get 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).
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.

The ftime function appeared in 4.2BSD.
