NAME

     ftime - return date and time


SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/timeb.h>

     int ftime(struct timeb *tp));


DESCRIPTION

     Return current date and time in tp,  which  is  declared  as
     following:

               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 Day-
     light Saving time applies  locally  during  the  appropriate
     part of the year.


RETURN VALUE

     This function always returns 0.
