getRealTime

Queries the system wall-clock time.

This call is functionally equivalent to func@GLib.get_current_time except that the return value is often more convenient than dealing with a #GTimeVal.

You should only use this call if you are actually interested in the real wall-clock time. func@GLib.get_monotonic_time is probably more useful for measuring intervals.

Return

the number of microseconds since January 1, 1970 UTC.
