ftime(3C)		 Standard C Library Functions		     ftime(3C)

NAME
       ftime - get date and time

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/timeb.h>

       int ftime(struct timeb *tp);

DESCRIPTION
       The  ftime()  function  sets  the time and millitm members of the timeb
       structure pointed to by tp. The structure is defined  in	 <sys/timeb.h>
       and contains the following members:

       time_t		time;
       unsigned short	millitm;
       short		timezone;
       short		dstflag;

       The  time and millitm members contain the seconds and milliseconds por‐
       tions, respectively, of the current time in seconds since 00:00:00  UTC
       (Coordinated Universal Time), January 1, 1970.

       The  timezone  member  contains the local time zone. The dstflag member
       contains a flag that, if non-zero, indicates that Daylight Saving  time
       applies locally during the appropriate part of the year.

       The  contents of the timezone and dstflag members of tp after a call to
       ftime() are unspecified.

RETURN VALUES
       Upon successful completion, the ftime() function returns	 0.  Otherwise
       −1 is returned.

ERRORS
       No errors are defined.

USAGE
       For  portability	 to  implementations conforming to earlier versions of
       this document, time(2) is preferred over this function.

       The millisecond value usually has a granularity greater than one due to
       the resolution of the system clock.  Depending on any granularity (par‐
       ticularly a granularity of one) renders code non-portable.
