| 23 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 24 | .ft B |
| 25 | These interfaces are obsoleted by gettimeofday(2). |
| 26 | .ft R |
| 27 | .PP |
| 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 |
| 44 | .RI < sys/timeb.h >: |
| 45 | .PP |
| 46 | .ta .5i +\w'unsigned 'u |
| 47 | .nf |
| 48 | .so /usr/include/sys/timeb.h |
| 49 | .fi |
| 50 | .PP |
| 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. |
