NAME

ftime − get date and time

SYNOPSIS

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

int ftime(struct timeb ∗tp);

DESCRIPTION

The ftime() entry fills in a structure pointed to by its argument.  The structure is defined in <sys/timeb.h> and contains the following members:

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, and a flag that, if nonzero, indicates that Daylight Saving time applies locally during the appropriate part of the year. 

The contents of the timezone and dstflag members of tp after a call to ftime() are unspecified.
