!!NAME


ftime - return date and time
!!SYNOPSIS


__#include __


__int ftime(struct timeb
*__''tp''__);__
!!DESCRIPTION


Return current date and time in ''tp'', which is declared
as following:


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.
!!RETURN VALUE


This function always returns 0.
!!BUGS


Under libc4 and libc5 the millitm field is meaningful. But
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
!!NOTE


This call is obsoleted by
gettimeofday(2).
