I'm trying to use struct timespec, and I want to initialize
it to the
current date (sec & nanosec). Is there a function call that I can
call that will do so, or do I have to roll my own? Note that I'm
looking for an API that will fill in a timespec that I pass in, not
create a new one on the heap.
You can wrap your own using gettimeofday() which does what
you want but using a timeval instead of a timespec.
Yeah, that is what I'm doing now; I was hoping there was a cleaner
way, something along the lines of:
ERROR_CODE initWithCurrentDate(&myTimeSpec);
If there isn't, then such is life; I'll continue using what
gettimeofday().
Wrapping gettimeofday(3) is the way to go. There is a POSIX REALTIME
interface clock_gettime(3) that returns a struct timespec, but Mac OS
X does not implement these optional interfaces.
