NAME

ftime - get date and time

SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag... ] file ... -lucb
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/timeb.h>
ftime(tp)
struct timeb *tp;

DESCRIPTION

The ftime entry fills in a structure pointed to by its argu-
ment, 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 Day-
light Saving time applies  locally  during  the  appropriate
part of the year.
