Calculating NTP timestamp in C program

Hi,

I wish to write a C program which obtains the system time and hence
uses this time to print out its ntp equivalent.

Am I right in saying that the following is correct for the seconds part
of the ntp time?

long int ntp.seconds = time(NULL) + 2208988800;

How might I calculate the fraction part?

Thanks very much for your help,

Barry.
