+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_now()</function> returns the time when
+ the most recent event loop iteration began. A timestamp
+ is taken right after returning from the event sleep, and before
+ dispatching any event sources. The <parameter>event</parameter>
+ parameter specifies the event loop object to retrieve the timestamp
+ from. The <parameter>clock</parameter> parameter specifies the clock to
+ retrieve the timestamp for, and is one of
+ <constant>CLOCK_REALTIME</constant> (or equivalently
+ <constant>CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM</constant>),
+ <constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant>, or
+ <constant>CLOCK_BOOTTIME</constant> (or equivalently
+ <constant>CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM</constant>), see
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>clock_gettime</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for more information on the various clocks. The retrieved
+ timestamp is stored in the <parameter>usec</parameter> parameter,
+ in µs since the clock's epoch. If this function is invoked before
+ the first event loop iteration, the current time is returned, as
+ reported by <function>clock_gettime()</function>. To distinguish
+ this case from a regular invocation the return value will be
+ positive, and zero when the returned timestamp refers to an actual
+ event loop iteration.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para>If the first event loop iteration has not run yet
+ <function>sd_event_now()</function> writes current time to
+ <parameter>usec</parameter> and returns a positive return value.
+ Otherwise, it will write the requested timestamp to <parameter>usec</parameter>
+ and return 0. On failure, the call returns a negative errno-style
+ error code.</para>
