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. BSD
June 4, 1993 BSD

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.
