Function Documentation

libvlc_clock()

int64_t libvlc_clock

(

void

)

Return the current time as defined by LibVLC.

The unit is the microsecond. Time increases monotonically (regardless of time zone changes and RTC adjustments). The origin is arbitrary but consistent across the whole system (e.g. the system uptime, the time since the system was booted).

Note

On systems that support it, the POSIX monotonic clock is used.

libvlc_delay()

static int64_t libvlc_delay ( int64_t  pts )

inlinestatic

Return the delay (in microseconds) until a certain timestamp.

Parameters

pts

timestamp

Returns

negative if timestamp is in the past, positive if it is in the future
