NAME¶

System_Clock - BSON Clock Abstraction

SYNOPSIS¶

int64_t bson_get_monotonic_time (void);
int     bson_gettimeofday       (struct timeval  *tv,
#if defined(__SUNPRO_C)


                                 void            *tz);
#else


                                 struct timezone *tz);

DESCRIPTION¶

The clock abstraction in Libbson provides a cross‐platform way to handle timeouts within the BSON library. It abstracts the differences in implementations of gettimeofday(3) as well as providing a monotonic (incrementing only) clock in microseconds.
