<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_event_now()</function> returns the time when
the most recent event loop iteration began. A timestamp
is taken right after returning from the event sleep, and before
dispatching any event sources. The <parameter>event</parameter>
parameter specifies the event loop object to retrieve the timestamp
from. The <parameter>clock</parameter> parameter specifies the clock to
retrieve the timestamp for, and is one of
<constant>CLOCK_REALTIME</constant> (or equivalently
<constant>CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM</constant>),
<constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant>, or
<constant>CLOCK_BOOTTIME</constant> (or equivalently
<constant>CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM</constant>), see
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>clock_gettime</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for more information on the various clocks. The retrieved
timestamp is stored in the <parameter>usec</parameter> parameter,
in µs since the clock's epoch. If this function is invoked before
the first event loop iteration, the current time is returned, as
reported by <function>clock_gettime()</function>. To distinguish
this case from a regular invocation the return value will be
positive, and zero when the returned timestamp refers to an actual
event loop iteration.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>If the first event loop iteration has not run yet
<function>sd_event_now()</function> writes current time to
<parameter>usec</parameter> and returns a positive return value.
Otherwise, it will write the requested timestamp to <parameter>usec</parameter>
and return 0. On failure, the call returns a negative errno-style
error code.</para>
