-.TH ftime 3 (date) "Linux man-pages (unreleased)"
-.SH NAME
-ftime \- return date and time
-.SH LIBRARY
-Standard C library
-.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-.B "#include <sys/timeb.h>"
-.P
-.BI "int ftime(struct timeb *" tp );
-.fi
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.BR NOTE :
-This function is no longer provided by the GNU C library.
-Use
-.BR clock_gettime (2)
-instead.
-.P
-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
-.IR tp ,
-which is declared as follows:
-.P
-.in +4n
-.EX
-struct timeb {
- time_t time;
- unsigned short millitm;
- short timezone;
- short dstflag;
-};
-.EE
-.in
-.P
-Here \fItime\fP is the number of seconds since the Epoch,
-and \fImillitm\fP is the number of milliseconds since \fItime\fP
-seconds since the Epoch.
-The \fItimezone\fP field is the local timezone measured in minutes
-of time west of Greenwich (with a negative value indicating minutes
-east of Greenwich).
-The \fIdstflag\fP field
-is a flag that, if nonzero, indicates that Daylight Saving time
-applies locally during the appropriate part of the year.
-.P
-POSIX.1-2001 says that the contents of the \fItimezone\fP and \fIdstflag\fP
-fields are unspecified; avoid relying on them.
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-This function always returns 0.
-(POSIX.1-2001 specifies, and some systems document, a \-1 error return.)
-.SH ATTRIBUTES
-For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
-.BR attributes (7).

-.SH STANDARDS
-None.
-.SH HISTORY
-Removed in glibc 2.33.
-4.2BSD, POSIX.1-2001.
-Removed in POSIX.1-2008.
-.P
-This function is obsolete.
-Don't use it.
-If the time in seconds
-suffices,
-.BR time (2)
-can be used;
-.BR gettimeofday (2)
-gives microseconds;
-.BR clock_gettime (2)
-gives nanoseconds but is not as widely available.
-.SH BUGS
-Early glibc2 is buggy and returns 0 in the
-.I millitm
-field;
-glibc 2.1.1 is correct again.
-.\" .SH HISTORY
-.\" The
-.\" .BR ftime ()
-.\" function appeared in 4.2BSD.
