FTIME (3)
return date and time
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/timeb.h>
int ftime(struct timeb * tp );
DESCRIPTION
Return current date and time in
tp ,
which is declared as following:
+1i
struct timeb {
time_t time;
unsigned short millitm;
short timezone;
short dstflag;
};
-1i
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.
RETURN VALUE
This function always returns 0.
BUGS
Under libc4 and libc5 the millitm field is meaningful.
But glibc2 is buggy and returns 0 there;
glibc 2.1.1 is correct again.
HISTORY
The
ftime
function appeared in 4.2BSD.
CONFORMING TO
BSD 4.2
Under BSD 4.3, this call is obsoleted by
gettimeofday (2).
