## Detailed Description

Defines the timer services of the OS interface to access the system time either on the local host or on the central time server in the network.

## Member Typedef Documentation

typedef ACE_Allocator_Adapter<MALLOC> ACE_System_Time::ALLOCATOR`[private]`

typedef ACE_Malloc<ACE_MMAP_MEMORY_POOL, ACE_Null_Mutex> ACE_System_Time::MALLOC`[private]`

## Member Enumeration Documentation

enum ACE_System_Time::Sync_Mode

  | Enumeration types to specify mode of synchronization with master clock. Jump will set local system time directly (thus possibly producing time gaps or ambiguous local system times. Adjust will smoothly slow down or speed up the local system clock to reach the system time of the master clock. Enumeration values:
  Jump |
  Adjust |

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ACE_System_Time::ACE_System_Time | ( | const ACE_TCHAR * | poolname = 0 | ) |

| Default constructor.

ACE_System_Time::~ACE_System_Time | ( | void |  | ) |

| Default destructor.

## Member Function Documentation

int ACE_System_Time::get_local_system_time | ( | ACE_Time_Value & | time_out | ) | `[static]`

| Get the local system time, i.e., the value returned by <ACE_OS::time>.

int ACE_System_Time::get_local_system_time | ( | ACE_UINT32 & | time_out | ) | `[static]`

int ACE_System_Time::get_master_system_time | ( | ACE_Time_Value & | time_out | ) |

| Get the system time of the central time server.

int ACE_System_Time::get_master_system_time | ( | ACE_UINT32 & | time_out | ) |

| Get the system time of the central time server.

int ACE_System_Time::sync_local_system_time | ( | ACE_System_Time::Sync_Mode | mode | ) |
