NAME

       System_Clock - BSON Clock Abstraction

SYNOPSIS

       int64_t bson_get_monotonic_time (void);
       int     bson_gettimeofday       (struct timeval  *tv,
       #if defined(__SUNPRO_C)
                                        void            *tz);
       #else
                                        struct timezone *tz);

DESCRIPTION

       The  clock  abstraction  in  Libbson  provides  a  cross‐platform  way to handle timeouts within the BSON
       library. It abstracts the differences in implementations  of  gettimeofday(3)  as  well  as  providing  a
       monotonic (incrementing only) clock in microseconds.
