nng_stat_timestamp3
Get statistic timestamp
Usage
#include <nng/nng.h> typedef struct nng_stat nng_stat; uint64_t nng_stat_timestamp(nng_stat *stat);
Overview
The nng_stat_timestamp() function returns the a timestamp, which is measured as a number of milliseconds since some arbitrary value in the past.
Even within the same snapshot, statistics might have different timestamp values, as the timestamp represents the time when that particular statistic was captured.
Tip
These values are intended to facilitate calculation of rates, by comparing values from one snapshot with a subsequent one.
Tip
The values used here have the same offset as the nng_clock() supplemental function. This can be useful when converting these values to local clock time.
Return values
The timestamp when stat was captured, measured as a number of milliseconds since some time in the past.
Errors
None.
