BSON Clock Abstraction

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.
