NAME

6       dtk_gettime - high resolution timestamp

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <dtk_time.h>
10
11       void dtk_gettime(struct dtk_timespec* ts);
12

DESCRIPTION

14       The  function  dtk_gettime()  retrieves  the  time  of a high precision
15       clock. The time is returned in the ts argument which is a pointer to  a
16       dtk_timespec structure defined as:
17
18           struct dtk_timespec {
19               long sec;    /* seconds */
20               long nsec;   /* nanoseconds */
21           };
22
23       The time represents seconds and nanoseconds since the Epoch, 1970-01-01
24       00:00:00 +0000  (UTC).

RETURN VALUE

27       None

NOTE

30       This function is wrapper to clock_gettime(2) if it is provided  by  the
31       system.  Otherwise,  it implements the function by using the timer with
32       the highest precision available on the system.
