SYNTAX

DESCRIPTION

14       taia_now  puts  the  current  time into t. More precisely: tai_now puts
15       into t its best guess as to the  TAI64NA  label  for  the  1-attosecond
16       interval that contains the current time.
17
18       This  implementation  of taia_now assumes that the time_t returned from
19       the time function represents the number of TAI seconds since 1970-01-01
20       00:00:10  TAI. This matches the convention used by the Olson tz library
21       in ``right'' mode.
22
23       Beware that many clocks are not set accurately, and even the best  sci‐
24       entific  clocks  are  nowhere  near  1-attosecond accuracy; however, an
25       inaccurate clock may still produce  reasonably  accurate  time  differ‐
26       ences.
