Function zeitstempel::now

pub fn now() -> u64

Returns a timestamp corresponding to “now”.

It can be compared to other timestamps gathered from this API, as long as the host was not rebooted inbetween.

Note

• The difference between two timestamps will include time the system was in sleep or hibernation.
• The difference between two timestamps gathered from this is in nanoseconds.
• The clocks on some operating systems, e.g. on Windows, are not nanosecond-precise. The value will still use nanosecond resolution.
