Function Documentation

_Timespec_Add_to()

uint32_t _Timespec_Add_to	(	struct timespec *	time,
		const struct timespec *	add
	)

Adds two timespecs.

This routine adds two timespecs. The second argument is added to the first.

Parameters

time	The base time to be added to.
add	The timespec to add to the first argument.

Returns

The number of seconds time increased by.

_Timespec_Divide()

void _Timespec_Divide	(	const struct timespec *	lhs,
		const struct timespec *	rhs,
		uint32_t *	ival_percentage,
		uint32_t *	fval_percentage
	)

Divides a timespec by another timespec.

This routine divides a timespec by another timespec. The intended use is for calculating percentages to three decimal points.

Parameters

	lhs	The left hand timespec.
	rhs	The right hand timespec.
[out]	ival_percentage	The integer portion of the average.
[out]	fval_percentage	The thousandths of percentage.

_Timespec_Divide_by_integer()

void _Timespec_Divide_by_integer	(	const struct timespec *	time,
		uint32_t	iterations,

Divides timespec by an integer.

This routine divides a timespec by an integer value. The expected use is to assist in benchmark calculations where you typically divide a duration by a number of iterations.

Parameters

	time	The total.
	iterations	The number of iterations.
[out]	result	The average time.

_Timespec_From_ticks()

void _Timespec_From_ticks	(	uint32_t	ticks,
