MirOS Manual: ftime(3)

FTIME(3)                   BSD Programmer's Manual                    FTIME(3)

NAME

     ftime - get date and time

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.

     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 appropri-
     ate part of the year.
