Functions
struct timeval *	pa_gettimeofday (struct timeval *tv)
	Return the current timestamp, just like UNIX gettimeofday().
pa_usec_t	pa_timeval_diff (const struct timeval *a, const struct timeval *b)
	Calculate the difference between the two specified timeval structs.
int	pa_timeval_cmp (const struct timeval *a, const struct timeval *b)
	Compare the two timeval structs and return 0 when equal, negative when a < b, positive otherwse.
pa_usec_t	pa_timeval_age (const struct timeval *tv)
	Return the time difference between now and the specified timestamp.
struct timeval *	pa_timeval_add (struct timeval *tv, pa_usec_t v)
	Add the specified time inmicroseconds to the specified timeval structure.

Function Documentation

struct timeval* pa_gettimeofday

(

struct timeval *

tv

)

[read]

Return the current timestamp, just like UNIX gettimeofday().

Examples:

pacat.c.

struct timeval* pa_timeval_add	(	struct timeval *	tv,
		pa_usec_t	v
	)			[read]

Add the specified time inmicroseconds to the specified timeval structure.

Examples:

pacat.c.

pa_usec_t pa_timeval_age

(

const struct timeval *

tv

)

Return the time difference between now and the specified timestamp.

int pa_timeval_cmp	(	const struct timeval *	a,
		const struct timeval *	b
	)

Compare the two timeval structs and return 0 when equal, negative when a < b, positive otherwse.

pa_usec_t pa_timeval_diff	(	const struct timeval *	a,
		const struct timeval *	b
	)

Calculate the difference between the two specified timeval structs.
