TIME(3C) UNIX Programmer's Manual TIME(3C)
NAME
time, ftime - get date and time
SYNOPSIS
long time(0)
long time(tloc)
long *tloc;
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/timeb.h>
ftime(tp)
struct timeb *tp;
DESCRIPTION
These interfaces are obsoleted by gettimeofday(2).
_T_i_m_e returns the time since 00:00:00 GMT, Jan. 1, 1970,
measured in seconds.
If _t_l_o_c is nonnull, the return value is also stored in the
place to which _t_l_o_c points.
The _f_t_i_m_e entry fills in a structure pointed to by its argu-
ment, as defined by <_s_y_s/_t_i_m_e_b._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 Day-
light Saving time applies locally during the appropriate
part of the year.
