ftime - 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:
struct timeb {
time_t time;
unsigned short millitm;
short timezone;
short dstflag;
};
The structure contains the time since the epoch in sec
onds, 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
NOTE
This call is obsoleted by gettimeofday(2).
