ftime(3bsd) (BSD System Compatibility)


ftime -- (BSD) get date and time

Synopsis

   /usr/ucb/cc [flag . . . ] file . . . 
   

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

ftime(struct timeb *tp);

Description

The ftime entry 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 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.
