NAME
time, ftime - get date and time
SYNOPSIS
time_t time(0)
time_t time(tloc)
time_t *tloc;
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/timeb.h>
int ftime(tp)
struct timeb *tp;
DESCRIPTION
These interfaces are obsoleted by gettimeofday(2).
Time returns the time since
00:00:00 GMT, Jan. 1, 1970, measured in
seconds.
If tloc is nonnull, the return
value is also stored in the place to
which tloc points.
The ftime entry 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 appropriate part of the year.
