TimeVal
Represents a precise time, with seconds and microseconds.
Similar to the struct timeval returned by the gettimeofday()
UNIX system call.
GLib is attempting to unify around the use of 64-bit integers to represent microsecond-precision time. As such, this type will be removed from a future version of GLib. A consequence of using glong
for tv_sec
is that on 32-bit systems GTimeVal
is subject to the year 2038 problem.
