The <parameter>clock</parameter> parameter specifies the clock to + retrieve the timestamp for, and is one of + <constant>CLOCK_REALTIME</constant> (or its equivalent + <constant>CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM</constant>), + <constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant> or + <constant>CLOCK_BOOTTIME</constant> (or its equivalent + <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 non-zero in this case, while it is zero when the returned + timestamp refers to the 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> returns the requested + timestamp in <parameter>usec</parameter> and returns a positive, + non-zero return value.
