Re: AbsoluteTime & IOHIKeyboard's _keyboardEventAction

Also this doesnt seem to work. This should show me the up time assuming the machine was started on 1970/1/1 00:00:00. It says it has been up for 10 hours when the uptime command says over 1 day. What exactly am i doing wrong?

Code:

AbsoluteTime keyTimeAbs = UpTime();

Nanoseconds keyTimeNano = AbsoluteToNanoseconds(keyTimeAbs);

double seconds = ((double) UnsignedWideToUInt64( keyTimeNano )) * 1e-9;

NSDate *keyTimeDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970:seconds];

NSLog(@"Key event date: %@",keyTimeDate);

Output:

2008-03-25 05:23:47.625 timeTest[5051:10b] Key event date: 1970-01-01 10:17:25 -0600

Uptime:

 5:24  up 1 day,  4:57, 3 users, load averages: 0.56 0.55 0.53

AbsoluteTime is CPU specific. You have to use the mach clock_* functions to convert the interval to nano seconds. The epoch for the converted value will be the standard UNIX epoch (1970/1/1 00:00:00).

I have a KEXT which hooks in to IOHIKeyboard's _keyboardEventAction. One of the variables it provides me is time of the event in the form of AbsoluteTime. What date or event (power on?) is this value counting up from? Thanks.
