AgentTime

Overview

AgentTime exports platform independent time related functions. It is a platform abstraction and it requires a specific implementation for each platform. Most of the times these functions can simply call the C standard time functions.

Most implementations of the C time() function return seconds since 00:00 hours, Jan 1, 1970 UTC. Implementations which do not must convert the output of time() to conform to this spec.
