ftime -- get date and time
Compatibility Library (libcompat, -lcompat)
#include <sys/types.h>

int
ftime(struct timeb *tp);
This interface is obsoleted by gettimeofday(2).
The ftime() routine fills in a structure pointed to by its argument, as
defined by <sys/timeb.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 Daylight Saving time applies locally during the appropriate
part of the year.

The ftime function appeared in 4.2BSD.
