benchmark_timestamp(3) Arcan Lua API benchmark_timestamp(3) NAME benchmark_timestamp - Sample a timekeeping source. SYNOPSIS number:timestamp benchmark_timestamp( number:stratum=0 ) DESCRIPTION This function queries some system specific timestamp source for a value us- able for tracing and benchmarking purposes. The accuracy and precision may vary depending on if benchmark trace data collection is enabled or not, as well as the security level of the application running. The optional stratum argument specifies what kind of timekeeping source should be used, where the default value (0) will be some kind of monotonic system clock in mil- lisecond resolution. Other defined stratum values are: 1: seconds since epoch (1970-01-01), non-monotonic. -1: microseconds in system clock. Se- lecting an invalid stratum is a terminal state transition. NOTES 1 As the name implies, this is primarily intended for benchmarking purposes. Real-world timekeeping cases should be avoided if possible as the API does not contain sufficient functions for handling the usecases that appear when dealing with locales, adjustments etc. system August 2026 benchmark_timestamp(3)
