43.In time.h
44.Ft int
45.Fn timespec_get "struct timespec *ts" "int base"
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The function
48.Fn timespec_get
49takes two arguments, a pointer to a
50.Vt timespec
51structure and desired time base.
52The function sets structure pointed by the
53.Fa ts
54argument to hold current clock time, basing on time base specified in the
55.Fa base
56argument.
57Currently only the
58.Dv TIME_UTC
59base is supported.
60.Sh RETURN VALUES
61Upon successful completion,
62.Fn timespec_get
63will use its argument
64.Fa base
65as a return value.
66Otherwise, a value of 0 is returned and
67.Va errno
68is set to indicate the error.
