PRTime
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
A representation of absolute times.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Syntax
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
.. code::
|
|
|
|
#include <prtime.h>
|
|
|
|
typedef PRInt64 PRTime;
|
|
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
This type is a 64-bit integer representing the number of microseconds
|
|
since the NSPR epoch, midnight (00:00:00) 1 January 1970 Coordinated
|
|
Universal Time (UTC). A time after the epoch has a positive value, and a
|
|
time before the epoch has a negative value.
|
|
|
|
In NSPR, we use the more familiar term Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) in
|
|
place of UTC. Although UTC and GMT are not exactly the same in their
|
|
precise definitions, they can generally be treated as if they were.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
**Note:** Keep in mind that while :ref:`PRTime` stores times in
|
|
microseconds since epoch, JavaScript date objects store times in
|
|
milliseconds since epoch.
