NAME
iv_now, iv_validate_now, iv_invalidate_now - ivykis time handling
SYNOPSIS
#include <iv.h>
extern struct timespec iv_now;
void iv_validate_now(void);
void iv_invalidate_now(void);
DESCRIPTION
iv_now
is a global variable that reflects the current time-of-day. Applications
written to the ivykis API generally require to know the current time-of-day
in many places, and therefore effort is done to cache this quantity.
The contents of
iv_now
might be stale. Calling the function
iv_validate_now
ensures that the current contents of
iv_now
are up-to-date.
The function
iv_invalidate_now
is called to invalidate the currently cached time-of-day. This function
should be called after any operation that takes a significant amount of
wall clock time.
