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).
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 kernel no longer maintains the
timezone and dstflag info, so 0 is always returned for these fields.
SEE ALSO
gettimeofday(2), settimeofday(2), ctime(3), time(3)
HISTORY
The ftime function appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX.
