- <description>
- <p>To get access to the record definitions for the structures use: <br></br>
-<c>-include_lib("cosTime/include/*.hrl").</c></p>
- <p>This module contains the functions for starting and stopping the application.</p>
- <p>This application use the time base <em>15 october 1582 00:00</em>.
- Performing operations using other time bases will not yield correct result.</p>
- <p>The OMG CosTime specification defines the operation
- <c>secure_universal_time</c>. As of today we cannot provide this functionality
- considering the criteria demanded to fulfill the OMG specification.</p>
- <p>When using this application, time and inaccuracy supplied by the user must
- be given in number of <em>100 nano seconds</em>. The
- <em>Time Displacement Factor</em> is positive east of the meridian, while
- those to the west are negative.</p>
- <p>This application use <c>calender:now_to_universal_time(Now)</c> to create a
- UTC. Hence, the underlying OS must deliver a correct result when calling
- <c>erlang:now()</c>.</p>
- <p>When determining the inaccuracy of the system, the user should consider the
- way the time objects will be used. Communicating with other ORB's, add a
- substantial overhead and should be taken into consideration.</p>
