FTIME(3)                   Linux Programmer’s Manual                  FTIME(3)



NAME
       ftime - return date and time

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/timeb.h>

       int ftime(struct timeb *tp);

DESCRIPTION
       Return current date and time in tp, which is declared as follows:

                 struct timeb {
                      time_t   time;
                      unsigned short millitm;
                      short    timezone;
                      short    dstflag;
                 };

       Here  time  is the number of seconds since the epoch, millitm is the number of mil-
       liseconds since time seconds since the epoch, timezone is the local time zone  mea-
       sured in minutes of time west of Greenwich, and dstflag is a flag that, if nonzero,
       indicates that Daylight Saving time applies locally during the appropriate part  of
       the year.

       These days the contents of the timezone and dstflag fields are undefined.

RETURN VALUE
       This function always returns 0.

BUGS
       This  function  is obsolete. Don’t use it. If the time in seconds suffices, time(2)
       can be used; gettimeofday(2) gives microseconds; clock_gettime(3) gives nanoseconds
       but is not yet widely available.

       Under  libc4  and libc5 the millitm field is meaningful.  But early glibc2 is buggy
       and returns 0 there; glibc 2.1.1 is correct again.

HISTORY
       The ftime() function appeared in 4.2BSD.

CONFORMING TO
       BSD 4.2, POSIX 1003.1-2001.
