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 64-bit integers to represent microsecond-precision time. As such, this type will be removed from a future version of GLib. A consequence of using glong for tv_sec is that on 32-bit systems GTimeVal is subject to the year 2038 problem.

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.
