Имя (Name)

ftime - return date and time

Синопсис (Synopsis)

#include <sys/timeb.h>

       int ftime(struct timeb *tp);

---

Описание (Description)

NOTE: This function is no longer provided by the GNU C library.
       Use clock_gettime(2) instead.

       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, which is declared as follows:

           struct timeb {
               time_t         time;
               unsigned short millitm;
               short          timezone;
               short          dstflag;
           };

       Here time is the number of seconds since the Epoch, and millitm
       is the number of milliseconds since time seconds since the Epoch.
       The timezone field is the local timezone measured in minutes of
       time west of Greenwich (with a negative value indicating minutes
       east of Greenwich).  The dstflag field is a flag that, if
       nonzero, indicates that Daylight Saving time applies locally
       during the appropriate part of the year.

       POSIX.1-2001 says that the contents of the timezone and dstflag
       fields are unspecified; avoid relying on them.

Возвращаемое значение (Return value)

This function always returns 0.  (POSIX.1-2001 specifies, and
       some systems document, a -1 error return.)

Версии (Versions)

Starting with glibc 2.33, the ftime() function and the
       <sys/timeb.h> header have been removed.  To support old binaries,
       glibc continues to provide a compatibility symbol for
       applications linked against glibc 2.32 and earlier.

Стандарты (Conforming to)

4.2BSD, POSIX.1-2001.  POSIX.1-2008 removes the specification of
       ftime().

       This function is obsolete.  Don't use it.  If the time in seconds
       suffices, time(2) can be used; gettimeofday(2) gives
       microseconds; clock_gettime(2) gives nanoseconds but is not as
       widely available.

---

Ошибки (баги) (Bugs)

Early glibc2 is buggy and returns 0 in the millitm field; glibc
       2.1.1 is correct again.
