+.SH NAME
+ftime \- get date and time (\fBLEGACY\fP)
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+\fB#include <sys/timeb.h>
+.br
+.sp
+int ftime(struct timeb *\fP\fItp\fP\fB); \fP
+\fB
+.br
+\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIftime\fP() function shall set the \fItime\fP and \fImillitm\fP
+members of the \fBtimeb\fP structure pointed to by
+\fItp\fP to contain the seconds and milliseconds portions, respectively,
+of the current time in seconds since the Epoch. The
+contents of the \fItimezone\fP and \fIdstflag\fP members of \fItp\fP
+after a call to \fIftime\fP() are unspecified.
+.LP
+The system clock need not have millisecond granularity. Depending
+on any granularity (particularly a granularity of one) renders
+code non-portable.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.LP
+Upon successful completion, the \fIftime\fP() function shall return
+0; otherwise, -1 shall be returned.
+.SH ERRORS
+.LP
+No errors are defined.
+.LP
+\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.SS Getting the Current Time and Date
+.LP
+The following example shows how to get the current system time values
+using the \fIftime\fP() function. The \fBtimeb\fP
+structure pointed to by \fItp\fP is filled with the current system
+time values for \fItime\fP and \fImillitm\fP.

+.RE
+.SH APPLICATION USAGE
+.LP
+For applications portability, the \fItime\fP() function should be
+used to determine the
+current time instead of \fIftime\fP(). Realtime applications should
+use \fIclock_gettime\fP() to determine the current time instead of
+\fIftime\fP().
+.SH RATIONALE
+.LP
+None.
+.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
+.LP
+This function may be withdrawn in a future version.
