ftime(3) [netbsd man page]

FTIME(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 						  FTIME(3)

NAME

     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).  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.

SEE ALSO

     gettimeofday(2), settimeofday(2), ctime(3), localtime(3), time(3)

HISTORY

     The ftime() function appeared in 4.1BSD.

NAME

     ftime -- get date and time

SYNOPSIS

     #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.

LEGACY SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/timeb.h>

     The include file <sys/types.h> is necessary.

SEE ALSO

     gettimeofday(2), settimeofday(2), ctime(3), time(3), compat(5)

HISTORY

     The ftime function appeared in 4.2BSD.
