Oops!!! I forgot about Date() object in JavaScript. So this module is quite useless now. :)
This is a node.js module, writen in C++, that implements some missing time functions, such as getting timeval struct and getting unix time.
It was written by Peteris Krumins (peter@catonmat.net). His blog is at http://www.catonmat.net -- good coders code, great reuse.
The module exports three functions:
* getUnixTime - returns seconds since 1970, Jan 1 (+/- timezone offset)
* getTimeval - returns timeval struct as object with .sec and .usec props
* getMilliseconds - returns milliseconds since 1970, Jan 1 (+/- tz offset)
See examples/ dir for working examples.
How to compile?
As usual,
node-waf configure build
The module will be called time.node
. To use it, make sure it's in NODE_PATH.
Extra info
This library was written for my and SubStack's StackVM startup:
