SYNOPSIS

11       #include <libmseed.h>
12
13       double  msr_host_latency ( MSRecord *msr );

DESCRIPTION

17       msr_host_latency calculates the latency in  seconds  of  the  Mini-SEED
18       data as the difference between current time in UTC of the host computer
19       and the time of the last sample in the record.
20
21       This routine is only really useful when dealing with a telemetered data
22       stream or something similar.
23
24       Double  precision  is  returned, but the true precision is dependent on
25       the accuracy of the host system clock among other things.

RETURN VALUES

29       msr_host_latency returns seconds of latency or 0.0 on error  (indistin‐
30       guishable from 0.0 latency).
