CosTime_TimeService This module implements the OMG CosTime::TimeService interface.

To get access to the record definitions for the structures use:

-include_lib("cosTime/include/*.hrl").

 universal_time(TimeService) -> Reply Return the current time and the Inaccuracy given when starting this application in a UTO TimeService = #objref Reply = UTO | {'EXCEPTION", #'TimerService_TimeUnavailable'{}} UTO = #objref

This operation returns the current time and the Inaccuracy given when starting this application in a UTO. The time base is 15 october 1582 00:00. Comparing two time objects which use different time base is, by obvious reasons, pointless.

 new_universal_time(TimeService, Time, Inaccuracy, Tdf) -> UTO Create a new UTO object representing the time parameters given TimeService = UTO = #objref Time = Inaccuracy = ulonglong() Tdf = short()

This operation creates a new UTO object representing the time parameters given. This is the only way to create a UTO with an arbitrary time from its components. This is useful when using the Timer Event Service.

 uto_from_utc(TimeService, Utc) -> UTO Create a UTO representing the given time in Utc form TimeService = UTO = #objref Utc = #'TimeBase_UtcT'{time, inacclo, inacchi, tdf} time = ulonglong() inacclo = ulong() inacchi = ushort() tdf = short()

This operation is used to create a UTO given a time in the Utc form.

 new_interval(TimeService, Lower, Upper) -> TIO Create a new TIO object representing the input parameters TimeService = TIO = #objref Lower = Upper = ulonglong()

This operation is used to create a new TIO object, representing the input parameters. If Lower is greater than Upper BAD_PARAM is raised.
