SYNOPSIS

long time(0)

long time(tloc)
long *tloc;

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/timeb.h>
ftime(tp)
struct timeb *tp;  

DESCRIPTION

Time returns the time since 00:00:00 GMT, Jan. 1, 1970, measured in seconds.

If tloc is nonnull, the return value is also stored in the place to which tloc points.

The ftime entry fills in a structure pointed to by its argument, as defined by <sys/timeb.h>:

The structure contains the time since the epoch in seconds, up to 1000 milliseconds of more-precise interval, the local timezone (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.
