In most C systems, you would use the fileno() function (on some systems
it may be a macro).  e.g.:

	FILE *fa;
	int fd;
	
	...

	fd = fileno(fa);

would put the file handle in fd.  Of course in the function call
to getftime you could just put the fileno function in the
argument list.  I'm not familiar with getftime but it might
look like this:
	getftime(fileno(fa),&result);
