nCine::TimeStamp class
#include <nCine/Base/TimeStamp.h>

Wraps a clock counter value representing a point in time or a duration.

Stores a raw counter value obtained from the system Clock. The same type is used both for absolute time points (e.g. now()) and for durations (e.g. the result of subtracting two time stamps). Conversion methods are provided to read the stored value, or the time elapsed since it, in seconds, milliseconds, microseconds or nanoseconds.

Public static functions

static auto now() -> TimeStamp
Returns a new time stamp initialized to the current clock value.
