.Dd June 4, 1993 .Dt FTIME 3 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm ftime .Nd get date and time .Sh LIBRARY .Lb libcompat .Sh SYNOPSIS n sys/types.h n sys/timeb.h .Ft int .Fn ftime "struct timeb *tp" .Sh DESCRIPTION f -symbolic This interface is obsoleted by .Xr gettimeofday 2 . It is available from the compatibility library, libcompat. .Ef
p f -symbolic Note: time zone information is no longer provided by this interface. See .Xr localtime 3 for information on how to retrieve it. .Ef
p The .Fn ftime routine fills in a structure pointed to by its argument, as defined by n sys/timeb.h : d -literal -offset indent struct timeb { time_t time; unsigned short millitm; short timezone; short dstflag; }; .Ed
p The structure contains the time since the epoch in seconds, up to 1000 milliseconds of more-precise interval. The .Em timezone and .Em dstflag fields are provided for source compatibility, but are always zero. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr gettimeofday 2 , .Xr settimeofday 2 , .Xr ctime 3 , .Xr localtime 3 , .Xr time 3 .Sh HISTORY The .Fn ftime function appeared in x 4.1 .
