NAME

       dtk_gettime - high resolution timestamp

SYNOPSIS

       #include <dtk_time.h>

       void dtk_gettime(struct dtk_timespec* ts);

DESCRIPTION

       The  function  dtk_gettime() retrieves the time of a high precision clock. The time is returned in the ts
       argument which is a pointer to a dtk_timespec structure defined as:

           struct dtk_timespec {
               long sec;    /* seconds */
               long nsec;   /* nanoseconds */
           };

       The time represents seconds and nanoseconds since the Epoch, 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000  (UTC).

RETURN VALUE

       None

NOTE

       This function is wrapper to clock_gettime(2) if it is provided by the system.  Otherwise,  it  implements
       the function by using the timer with the highest precision available on the system.
