NAME¶
tai_now - get current time
SYNTAX¶
#include <libowfat/tai.h>
extern int tai_now(struct tai* t);
DESCRIPTION¶
tai_now puts the current time into t. More precisely: tai_now puts into t its best guess as to the TAI64 label for the 1-second interval that contains the current time.
This implementation of tai_now assumes that the time_t returned from the time function represents the number of TAI seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:10 TAI. This matches the convention used by the Olson tz library in ``right'' mode.
