Modern Chrono WallClock Resolution

Home › Date and Time (Chrono) › Chrono Date and Time › WallClock.Resolution

WallClock.Resolution

Returns the smallest step the wall clock reports, as a TimeSpan.

Syntax

WallClock.Resolution( ) as TimeSpan

Notes

• On Windows it is one tick (100 ns) where the system offers a precise clock, and 15.625 ms where it does not. On Linux and macOS it is what the OS reports for its real-time clock.
• It describes the wall clock only. A Stopwatch reads a different, monotonic counter.

Examples

#import "std/chrono"
using chrono

dim as TimeSpan r = WallClock.Resolution( )

print r.Ticks > 0                     '' -1 (true)
print r.TotalMilliseconds <= 15.625   '' -1 (true)
