TimeVal

Represents a precise time, with seconds and microseconds. Similar to the struct timeval returned by the gettimeofday() UNIX system call.

GLib is attempting to unify around the use of 64bit integers to represent microsecond-precision time. As such, this type will be removed from a future version of GLib.

Constructors

this this(GTimeVal* gTimeVal, bool ownedRef): Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class.

Destructor

~this ~this(): Undocumented in source.

Members

Functions

add void add(glong microseconds): Adds the given number of microseconds to @time_. @microseconds can also be negative to decrease the value of @time_.
getStruct void* getStruct(): the main Gtk struct as a void*
getTimeValStruct GTimeVal* getTimeValStruct(bool transferOwnership): Get the main Gtk struct
toIso8601 string toIso8601(): Converts @time_ into an RFC 3339 encoded string, relative to the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This is one of the many formats allowed by ISO 8601.

Properties

tvSec glong tvSec [@property getter]
glong tvSec [@property setter]: seconds
tvUsec glong tvUsec [@property getter]
glong tvUsec [@property setter]: microseconds

Static functions

fromIso8601 bool fromIso8601(string isoDate, TimeVal time): Converts a string containing an ISO 8601 encoded date and time to a #GTimeVal and puts it into @time_.
getCurrentTime void getCurrentTime(TimeVal result): Equivalent to the UNIX gettimeofday() function, but portable.
getMonotonicTime long getMonotonicTime(): Queries the system monotonic time.
getRealTime long getRealTime(): Queries the system wall-clock time.
usleep void usleep(gulong microseconds): Pauses the current thread for the given number of microseconds.

Variables

gTimeVal GTimeVal* gTimeVal;: the main Gtk struct
ownedRef bool ownedRef;: Undocumented in source.
