=head1 Name
SPVM::Sys::Time - Time System Call
=head1 Usage
use Sys::Time;
=head1 Description
C<Sys::Process> provides the methods to call the system call for the time manipulation.
=head1 Class Methods
=head2 gettimeofday
static method gettimeofday ($tv : Sys::Time::Timeval, $tz : Sys::Time::Timezone)
The functions gettimeofday() can get the time as well as a timezone. The tv argument is a struct timeval (as specified in <sys/time.h>):
See L<gettimeofday(2) - Linux man page|https://linux.die.net/man/2/gettimeofday> in Linux.
=head2 clock
static method clock : long ()
The value returned is the CPU time used so far as a clock_t; to get the number of seconds used, divide by CLOCKS_PER_SEC.
See L<clock(3) - Linux man page|https://linux.die.net/man/3/clock> in Linux.
=head2 clock_gettime
static method clock_gettime : int ($clk_id : int, $tp : Sys::Time::Timespec)
The functions clock_gettime() retrieves the time of the specified clock clk_id.
See L<clock_gettime(3) - Linux man page|https://linux.die.net/man/3/clock_gettime> in Linux.
The C<$tp> is a L<Sys::Time::Timespec|SPVM::Sys::Time::Timespec> object.
=head2 clock_getres
static method clock_getres : int ($clk_id : int, $res : Sys::Time::Timespec)
The functions clock_getres() retrieves the time of the specified clock clk_id.
See L<clock_getres(3) - Linux man page|https://linux.die.net/man/3/clock_getres> in Linux.
The C<$res> is a L<Sys::Time::Timespec|SPVM::Sys::Time::Timespec> object.
=head2 setitimer
static method setitimer : int ($which : int, $new_value : Sys::Time::Itimerval, $old_value : Sys::Time::Itimerval)
The function setitimer() sets the specified timer to the value in new_value. If old_value is non-NULL, the old value of the timer is stored there.
See L<setitimer(2) - Linux man page|https://linux.die.net/man/2/setitimer> in Linux.
The C<$new_value> is a L<Sys::Time::Itimerval|SPVM::Sys::Time::Itimerval> object.
The C<$old_value> is a L<Sys::Time::Itimerval|SPVM::Sys::Time::Itimerval> object.
=head2 getitimer
static method getitimer : int ($which : int, $curr_value : Sys::Time::Itimerval)
The function getitimer() fills the structure pointed to by curr_value with the current setting for the timer specified by which (one of ITIMER_REAL, ITIMER_VIRTUAL, or ITIMER_PROF).
See L<getitimer(2) - Linux man page|https://linux.die.net/man/2/getitimer> in Linux.
The C<$curr_value> is a L<Sys::Time::Itimerval|SPVM::Sys::Time::Itimerval> object.
=head2 times
static method times : long ($buffer : Sys::Time::Tms);
times() stores the current process times in the struct tms that buf points to. The struct tms is as defined in <sys/times.h>:
See the detail of the L<times|https://linux.die.net/man/2/times> function in the case of Linux.
=head2 clock_nanosleep
static method clock_nanosleep : int ($clockid : int, $flags : int, $request : Sys::Time::Timespec, $remain : Sys::Time::Timespec);
Like nanosleep(2), clock_nanosleep() allows the calling thread to sleep for an interval specified with nanosecond precision. It differs in allowing the caller to select the clock against which the sleep interval is to be measured, and in allowing the sleep interval to be specified as either an absolute or a relative value.
See the detail of the L<clock_nanosleep(2) - Linux man page|https://linux.die.net/man/2/clock_nanosleep> function in the case of Linux.
The C<$request> is a L<Sys::Time::Timespec|SPVM::Sys::Time::Timespec> object.
The C<$remain> is a L<Sys::Time::Timespec|SPVM::Sys::Time::Timespec> object.
=head2 nanosleep
static method nanosleep : int ($rqtp : Sys::Time::Timespec, $rmtp : Sys::Time::Timespec);
The nanosleep() function shall cause the current thread to be suspended from execution until either the time interval specified by the rqtp argument has elapsed or a signal is delivered to the calling thread, and its action is to invoke a signal-catching function or to terminate the process.
See the detail of the L<nanosleep|https://linux.die.net/man/3/nanosleep> function in the case of Linux.
The rqtp is a L<Sys::Time::Timespec> object.
The rmtp is a L<Sys::Time::Timespec> object.
