!
! \fBint\fR \fBftime\fR(\fBstruct timeb *\fR\fItp\fR);
! .fi
!
! .SH DESCRIPTION
! .sp
! .LP
! The \fBftime()\fR function sets the \fBtime\fR and \fBmillitm\fR members of the
! \fBtimeb\fR structure pointed to by \fItp\fR. The structure is defined in
! <\fBsys/timeb.h\fR> and contains the following members:
! .sp
! .in +2
! .nf
! time_t time;
! unsigned short millitm;
! short timezone;
! short dstflag;
! .fi
! .in -2
!
! .sp
! .LP
! The \fBtime\fR and \fBmillitm\fR members contain the seconds and milliseconds
portions, respectively, of the current time in seconds since 00:00:00 UTC
(Coordinated Universal Time), January 1, 1970.
! .sp
! .LP
! The \fBtimezone\fR member contains the local time zone. The \fBdstflag\fR
! member contains a flag that, if non-zero, indicates that Daylight Saving time
applies locally during the appropriate part of the year.
! .sp
! .LP
! The contents of the \fBtimezone\fR and \fBdstflag\fR members of \fItp\fR after
! a call to \fBftime()\fR are unspecified.
! .SH RETURN VALUES
! .sp
! .LP
! Upon successful completion, the \fBftime()\fR function returns \fB0\fR.
! Otherwise \fB\(mi1\fR is returned.
! .SH ERRORS
! .sp
! .LP
No errors are defined.
! .SH USAGE
! .sp
! .LP
! For portability to implementations conforming to earlier versions of this
! document, \fBtime\fR(2) is preferred over this function.
! .sp
! .LP
The millisecond value usually has a granularity greater than one due to the
resolution of the system clock. Depending on any granularity (particularly a
granularity of one) renders code non-portable.
