NAME
ftime — get date and timeLIBRARY
Compatibility Library (libcompat, -lcompat)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.
HISTORY
The ftime function appeared in 4.2BSD.June 4, 1993 | FreeBSD |
