Purpose:

Provide a time point with respect to an epoch

Classes:

blpapi::TimePoint	a fixed moment in a linear model of time
blpapi::TimePointUtil	namespace for TimePoint Utility functions

See also:

Component blpapi_highresolutionclock, Component blpapi_datetime

Description:

This component provides a representation of a fixed moment in a strict linear model of time. A function to measure the distance between two such moments is provided. Note that such a moment is not associated with any particular calendar or wall-clock conventions---see blpapi_datetime for such representations (and for functions to apply such conventions to an existing time point).

Function Documentation

BLPAPI_EXPORT long long blpapi_TimePointUtil_nanosecondsBetween	(	const blpapi_TimePoint_t *	start,
		const blpapi_TimePoint_t *	end
	)

Return the difference between start and end TimePoint objects. The returned value is in nanoseconds representing end - start.
