Time

The Time interface contains types for describing absolute times and time intervals; it also contains procedures for doing arithmetic on time values, for reading and setting the system clock, and for delaying the execution of the calling thread for a specified amount of time.

 

TYPE
  T = RECORD
    seconds: CARDINAL;
    microseconds: [0..999999];
  END;

A value of type T represents either an instant in time relative to the epoch (January 1, 1970 at 00:00:00.0 GMT) or the length of an interval in time. (The type Time.T is actually equated to NubTypes.Time.)
