NAME <\/a> <\/h2>\nftime \u2212 return date and time<\/p>\n
SYNOPSIS <\/a> <\/h2>\n#include <\/b><\/p>\nint ftime(struct timeb *<\/b>tp<\/i>);<\/b><\/p>\nDESCRIPTION <\/a> <\/h2>\nNOTE<\/b>: This function is deprecated, and will be removed in a future version of the GNU C library. Use clock_gettime<\/b>(2) instead.<\/p>\n
This function returns the current time as seconds and milliseconds since the Epoch, 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 (UTC). The time is returned in tp<\/i>, which is declared as follows:<\/p>\n
struct timeb {
time_t time;
unsigned short millitm;
short timezone;
short dstflag;
};<\/p>\n
Here time<\/i> is the number of seconds since the Epoch, and millitm<\/i> is the number of milliseconds since time<\/i> seconds since the Epoch. The timezone<\/i> field is the local timezone measured in minutes of time west of Greenwich (with a negative value indicating minutes east of Greenwich). The dstflag<\/i> field is a flag that, if nonzero, indicates that Daylight Saving time applies locally during the appropriate part of the year.<\/p>\n
POSIX.1-2001 says that the contents of the timezone<\/i> and dstflag<\/i> fields are unspecified; avoid relying on them.<\/p>\nRETURN VALUE <\/a> <\/h2>\nThis function always returns 0. (POSIX.1-2001 specifies, and some systems document, a \u22121 error return.)<\/p>\n
ATTRIBUTES <\/a> <\/h2>\nFor an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes<\/b>(7).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
CONFORMING TO <\/a> <\/h2>\n4.2BSD, POSIX.1-2001. POSIX.1-2008 removes the specification of ftime<\/b>().<\/p>\n
This function is obsolete. Don\u2019t use it. If the time in seconds suffices, time<\/b>(2) can be used; gettimeofday<\/b>(2) gives microseconds; clock_gettime<\/b>(2) gives nanoseconds but is not as widely available.<\/p>\nBUGS <\/a> <\/h2>\nEarly glibc2 is buggy and returns 0 in the millitm<\/i> field; glibc 2.1.1 is correct again.<\/p>\nSEE ALSO <\/a> <\/h2>\n
