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.
