NAME

       taia_now - get current time

SYNTAX

       #include <libowfat/taia.h>

       extern int taia_now(struct taia* t);

DESCRIPTION

       taia_now  puts  the  current  time  into  t. More precisely: tai_now puts into t its best guess as to the
       TAI64NA label for the 1-attosecond interval that contains the current time.

       This implementation of taia_now assumes that the time_t returned from the time  function  represents  the
       number  of  TAI  seconds  since 1970-01-01 00:00:10 TAI. This matches the convention used by the Olson tz
       library in ``right'' mode.

       Beware that many clocks are not set accurately, and even the best  scientific  clocks  are  nowhere  near
       1-attosecond  accuracy;  however,  an  inaccurate  clock  may  still  produce  reasonably  accurate  time
       differences.
