+.In sys/types.h
+.In sys/timeb.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn ftime "struct timeb *tp"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Bf -symbolic
+This interface is obsoleted by
+.Xr gettimeofday 2 .
+.Ef
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn ftime
+routine fills in a structure pointed to by its argument,
+as defined by
+.In sys/timeb.h :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+/*
+ * Structure returned by ftime system call
+ */
+struct timeb
+{
+	  time_t  time;
+	  unsigned short millitm;
+	  short   timezone;
+	  short   dstflag;
+};
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The structure contains the time since the epoch in seconds,
+up to 1000 milliseconds of more-precise interval,
+The kernel no longer maintains the timezone and dstflag info, so 0 is
+always returned for these fields.
