My FreeBSD manpage says:

... If tp or tzp is NULL, the associated time
     information will not be returned or set.

The Linux manpage words it differently:

  If either tv or tz is NULL, the corresponding structure is not  set  or
       returned.  (However, compilation warnings will result if tv is NULL.)
