Method gethrdtime()


Method gethrdtime

int gethrdtime(void|int nsec)

Description

Return the high resolution real time spent with threads disabled since the Pike interpreter was started. The time is normally returned in microseconds, but if the optional argument nsec is nonzero it's returned in nanoseconds.

Note

The actual accuracy on many systems is significantly less than microseconds or nanoseconds. See System.REAL_TIME_RESOLUTION.
