FTIME(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual FTIME(3)
NAME
ftime - get date and time
LIBRARY
Compatibility Library (libcompat, -lcompat)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/timeb.h>
int
ftime(struct timeb *tp);
DESCRIPTION
This interface is obsoleted by gettimeofday(2). It is available from the
compatibility library, libcompat.
Note: time zone information is no longer provided by this interface. See
localtime(3) for information on how to retrieve it.
The ftime() routine fills in a structure pointed to by its argument, 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 timezone and dstflag fields
are provided for source compatibility, but are always zero.
