ftime(3)                                                       ftime(3)

  ftime()

  NAME

    ftime() - get date and time

  SYNOPSIS

    #include 

    int ftime(struct timeb *tp)

  DESCRIPTION

    The ftime(3) call gets the current date and time and stores them in the
    time and millitm members of the timeb structure referenced by tp. The time
    is the time since 00:00:00 UTC, January 1, 1970. The time member contains
    seconds and the millitm member contains milliseconds.

    This implementation also sets the timezone member to the time zone in
    minutes and the dstflag member to 1 if Daylight Savings Time can happen in
    the current time zone. However, this behavior is not supported on all
    systems.

    Note that depending upon the granularity of the system clock is a non-
    portable coding practice.

  RETURN VALUE

    The ftime(3) function exits with status 0 for success, and -1 if an error
    occurred.
