gettimeofday

Get current time

&reftitle.description; ``array``float```gettimeofday` `bool` `as_float`&false;

This is an interface to gettimeofday(2). It returns an associative array containing the data returned from the system call.

&reftitle.parameters;

`as_float`

- When set to &true;, a float instead of an array is returned.

&reftitle.returnvalues;

By default an `array` is returned. If `as_float` is set, then a `float` is returned.

Array keys:

- "sec" - seconds since the Unix Epoch

- "usec" - microseconds

- "minuteswest" - minutes west of Greenwich

- "dsttime" - type of dst correction
