28 | .I Time |
| 29 | returns the time since 00:00:00 GMT, Jan. 1, 1970, measured | |
| 30 | in seconds. | |
| 31 | .PP | |
| 32 | If | |
| 33 | .I tloc | |
| 34 | is nonnull, | |
| 35 | the return value is also stored in the | |
| 36 | place to which | |
| 37 | .I tloc | |
| 38 | points. | |
| 39 | .PP | |
| 40 | The | |
| 41 | .I ftime | |
| 42 | entry fills in a structure pointed to by its argument, | |
| 43 | as defined by | |

| 51 | The structure contains the time since the epoch in seconds, | |
| 52 | up to 1000 milliseconds of more-precise interval, | |
| 53 | the local time zone (measured in minutes of time westward from Greenwich), | |
| 54 | and a flag that, if nonzero, indicates that | |
| 55 | Daylight Saving time applies locally during the appropriate part of the year. | |
