I assume the program is using ftime, which is not part of POSIX. I believe that ftime was in the original V7, and does exist as an obsolescent feature of BSD 4.3. Look at time(), possibly followed by localtime(). Something like the following: #include int foo () { time_t t; struct tm *tms; t = time (0); tms = localtime (&t); /* * tms now has all the information, and more, that you need. Also * look at tzname, timezone etc globals. */ } Do look up the docs before you use these routines of course ...
