Re: AbsoluteTime & IOHIKeyboard's

Code:

void myKeyboardEventAction(OSObject * target, unsigned eventType, unsigned flags, unsigned key, unsigned charCode, unsigned charSet, unsigned origCharCode, unsigned origCharSet, unsigned keyboardType, bool repeat, AbsoluteTime time)

{

u_int32_t calendarHi,calendarLo,systemHi,systemLo;

u_int64_t uptime;

...

clock_get_uptime(&uptime);

clock_get_calendar_nanotime(&calendarHi,&calendarLo);

clock_get_system_nanotime(&systemHi,&systemLo);

IOLog("event time %u %u calendar time %u %u systime %u %u uptime %qu\n",time.hi,time.lo,calendarHi,calendarLo,systemHi,systemLo,uptime);

}

Output:

Matt and Brian,

Absolute time and calendar time are completely different clocks and cannot be converted. To the best of my knowledge, "absolute time" pauses whenever the machine enters deep energy saving modes.

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.
