taia_now(3)taia_now(3)NAME
taia_now - get current time
SYNTAX
#include <taia.h>
extern int taia_now(struct taia* t);
DESCRIPTION
taia_now puts the current time into t. More precisely: tai_now puts
into t its best guess as to the TAI64NA label for the 1-attosecond
interval that contains the current time.
This implementation of taia_now assumes that the time_t returned from
the time function represents the number of TAI seconds since 1970-01-01
00:00:10 TAI. This matches the convention used by the Olson tz library
in ``right'' mode.
Beware that many clocks are not set accurately, and even the best sci‐
entific clocks are nowhere near 1-attosecond accuracy; however, an
inaccurate clock may still produce reasonably accurate time differ‐
ences.
