Function Documentation

clock_t clock ( void )
 

Returns the time from the system startup in milliseconds; updated every 10 mS.

Returns:
a clock_t value. 
       #include <cybiko.h>
       ...
       int value;
       ...
       // Initializes a pseudorandom sequence.
       srand( clock() );
       ...
       value = random( 10 );

time_t get_trusted_time ( void )
 

Returns trusted time.
This time is synchronized with the Cybiko web server. The user cannot change the trusted time.

Returns:
The trusted time. 
       #include <cybiko.h>
       ...
       struct Time time;
       ...
       Time_decode( &time, get_trusted_time() );
       //  Synchronizes real time clock with the trusted time.
       Time_set_RTC( &time );
       ...

time_t time ( void )
 

Returns the current time in the system format (seconds since some date).

Returns:
Time in the time_t format (seconds since some date). 
       #include <cybiko.h>
       ...

       struct Time cur_time;
       ...
       Time_decode( &cur_time, time() );
       ...
       week_day = Time_get_weekday( &cur_time );
