_ftime, _ftime32, _ftime64

Get the current time. More secure versions of these functions are available; see _ftime_s, _ftime32_s, _ftime64_s.

void _ftime( 
   struct _timeb *timeptr 
);
void _ftime32( 
   struct __timeb32 *timeptr 
);
void _ftime64( 
   struct __timeb64 *timeptr 
);

Parameters

  • timeptr
    Pointer to a _timeb,__timeb32 or __timeb64 structure.

Remarks

The _ftime function gets the current local time and stores it in the structure pointed to by timeptr*.* The _timeb, __timeb32,and__timeb64 structures are defined in SYS\Timeb.h. They contain four fields, which are listed in the following table.

  • dstflag
    Nonzero if daylight savings time is currently in effect for the local time zone. (See _tzset for an explanation of how daylight savings time is determined.)

  • millitm
    Fraction of a second in milliseconds.

  • time
    Time in seconds since midnight (00:00:00), January 1, 1970, coordinated universal time (UTC).

  • timezone
    Difference in minutes, moving westward, between UTC and local time. The value of timezone is set from the value of the global variable _timezone (see _tzset).

_ftime64, which uses the __timeb64 structure, allows file-creation dates to be expressed up through 23:59:59, December 31, 3000, UTC; whereas _ftime32 only represents dates through 03:14:07 January 19, 2038, UTC. Midnight, January 1, 1970, is the lower bound of the date range for all these functions.

_ftime is equivalent to _ftime64 and _timeb contains a 64-bit time. This is true unless _USE_32BIT_TIME_T is defined, in which case the old behavior is in effect; _ftime uses a 32-bit time and _timeb contains a 32-bit time.

_ftime validates its parameters. If passed a null pointer as timeptr, the function invokes the invalid parameter handler, as described in Parameter Validation. If execution is allowed to continue, the function sets errno to EINVAL.

Example

// crt_ftime.c
// compile with: /W3
// This program uses _ftime to obtain the current
// time and then stores this time in timebuffer.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/timeb.h>
#include <time.h>

int main( void )
{
   struct _timeb timebuffer;
   char timeline[26];
   errno_t err;
   time_t time1;
   unsigned short millitm1;
   short timezone1;
   short dstflag1;

   _ftime( &timebuffer ); // C4996
   // Note: _ftime is deprecated; consider using _ftime_s instead

   time1 = timebuffer.time;
   millitm1 = timebuffer.millitm;
   timezone1 = timebuffer.timezone;
   dstflag1 = timebuffer.dstflag;

   printf( "Seconds since midnight, January 1, 1970 (UTC): %I64d\n", 
   time1);
   printf( "Milliseconds: %d\n", millitm1);
   printf( "Minutes between UTC and local time: %d\n", timezone1);
   printf( "Daylight savings time flag (1 means Daylight time is in "
           "effect): %d\n", dstflag1); 
   
   err = ctime_s( timeline, 26, & ( timebuffer.time ) );
   if (err)
   {
       printf("Invalid argument to ctime_s. ");
   }
   printf( "The time is %.19s.%hu %s", timeline, timebuffer.millitm,
           &timeline[20] );
}
Seconds since midnight, January 1, 1970 (UTC): 1051553334
Milliseconds: 230
Minutes between UTC and local time: 480
Daylight savings time flag (1 means Daylight time is in effect): 1
The time is Mon Apr 28 11:08:54.230 2003
