taia_now(3)           DragonFly Library Functions Manual           taia_now(3)

NAME
       taia_now - get current time

SYNTAX
       #include <taia.h>

       extern int taia_now(struct taia* t);

DESCRIPTION
       taia_now puts the current time into t. More precisely: tai_now puts
       into t its best guess as to the TAI64NA label for the 1-attosecond
       interval that contains the current time.

       This implementation of taia_now assumes that the time_t returned from
       the time function represents the number of TAI seconds since 1970-01-01
       00:00:10 TAI. This matches the convention used by the Olson tz library
       in ``right'' mode.

       Beware that many clocks are not set accurately, and even the best
       scientific clocks are nowhere near 1-attosecond accuracy; however, an
       inaccurate clock may still produce reasonably accurate time
       differences.
