| 18 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 19 | .I Time | |
| 20 | returns the time since 00:00:00 GMT, Jan. 1, 1970, measured | |
| 21 | in seconds. | |
| 22 | .PP | |
| 23 | If | |
| 24 | .I tloc | |
| 25 | is nonnull, | |
| 26 | the return value is also stored in the | |
| 27 | place to which | |
| 28 | .I tloc | |
| 29 | points. | |
| 30 | .PP | |
| 31 | The | |
| 32 | .I ftime | |
| 33 | entry fills in a structure pointed to by its argument, | |
| 34 | as defined by | |
| 35 | .IR <sys/timeb.h> : | |
| 36 | .PP | |
| 37 | .ta .5i +\w'unsigned 'u | |
| 38 | .nf | |
| 39 | .so /usr/include/sys/timeb.h | |
| 40 | .fi | |
| 41 | .PP | |
| 42 | The structure contains the time since the epoch in seconds, | |
| 43 | up to 1000 milliseconds of more-precise interval, | |
| 44 | the local timezone (measured in minutes of time westward from Greenwich), | |
| 45 | and a flag that, if nonzero, indicates that | |
| 46 | Daylight Saving time applies locally during the appropriate part of the year. | |
