taia_now(3)		   Library Functions Manual		   taia_now(3)

NAME
       taia_now	- get current time

SYNTAX
       #include	<libowfat/taia.h>

       extern int taia_now(struct taia*	t);

DESCRIPTION
       taia_now	 puts  the  current  time into t. More precisely: tai_now puts
       into t its best guess as	to the TAI64NA label for the 1-attosecond  in-
       terval that contains the	current	time.

       This  implementation  of	taia_now assumes that the time_t returned from
       the time	function represents the	number of TAI seconds since 1970-01-01
       00:00:10	TAI. This matches the convention used by the Olson tz  library
       in ``right'' mode.

       Beware  that many clocks	are not	set accurately,	and even the best sci-
       entific clocks are nowhere near 1-attosecond accuracy; however, an  in-
       accurate	clock may still	produce	reasonably accurate time differences.
