FTIME(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual FTIME(3)

ftime
get date and time

Compatibility Library (libcompat, -lcompat)

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/timeb.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 kernel no longer maintains the timezone and dstflag info, so 0 is always returned for these fields.

gettimeofday(2), settimeofday(2), ctime(3), time(3)

The ftime function appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX.
August 4, 2018 FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE
