Summary:
The ftime() function is described in a misleading way in the
"Microsoft C Optimizing Compiler Run-Time Library Reference," page 308
for C versions 5.0 and 5.1 and page 217 for C version 4.0.
The field millitm in the timeb structure that ftime returns is
described to hold the value of the fraction of a second in
milliseconds. The field contains three digits as described; however,
the last digit always is zero. Thus, the function returns millitm
incremented to the nearest one hundredth of a second.
Note also that this function uses the system clock to determine the
time. Because the resolution of the clock on PCs is about 1/18.2
seconds, the time function cannot be more accurate than that.
