Returns the current time.
Syntax
#include <prtime.h> PRTime PR_Now(void);
Parameters
None.
Returns
The current time as a PRTime
value.
Description
PR_Now()
returns the current time as number of microseconds since the NSPR epoch, which is midnight (00:00:00) 1 January 1970 UTC.
You cannot assume that the values returned by PR_Now()
are monotonically increasing because the system clock of the computer may be reset. To obtain monotonically increasing time stamps suitable for measuring elapsed time, use PR_IntervalNow()
.
