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).
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.
SEE ALSO
gettimeofday(2), settimeofday(2), ctime(3), time(3)

The ftime function appeared in 4.2BSD.
