9.4.27 sys/time.h: timing functions

   

DESCRIPTION

This header includes constant definitions and function prototypes for timing and related functions.

Extended functionality.

Timing functions are mapped to the (currently undocumented) oskit_clock COM interface. In essence, this interface is a very natural adaptation of the POSIX.1 real-time extensions.

gettimeofday

Read the current time of the day directly out of the oskit_clock instance functioning as system clock. To set the time, set the corresponding oskit_clock object.

set_system_clock

Set the system clock used by the other timing routines.
