[edit] Example
Run this code
#include <stdio.h> #include <time.h> #include <stdint.h> int main(void) { struct timespec ts; timespec_get(&ts, TIME_UTC); char buff[100]; strftime(buff, sizeof buff, "%D %T", gmtime(&ts.tv_sec)); printf("Current time: %s.%09ld UTC\n", buff, ts.tv_nsec); printf("Raw timespec.time_t: %jd\n", (intmax_t)ts.tv_sec); printf("Raw timespec.tv_nsec: %09ld\n", ts.tv_nsec); }
Possible output:
Current time: 11/24/21 03:10:50.408191283 UTC Raw timespec.time_t: 1637723450 Raw timespec.tv_nsec: 408191283
