C 4 ftime - get date and time

 #include <sys/types.h>  #include <sys/timeb.h> 
 ftime(tp)  struct timeb *tp; 

This interface is obsoleted by gettimeofday(2).

It is available from the compatibility library, libcompat.

The ftime routine fills in a structure pointed to by its argument, as defined by < sys/timeb.h >:

.so  /usr/include/sys/timeb.h

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.
