Help Needed with Accessing High-Resolution Time via FFI in Mojo
Hello Mojo Community,
I am currently working on developing a comprehensive datetime library for the Mojo platform, aimed at enhancing time-related functionalities. As part of this effort, I've encountered a limitation with the built-in
To obtain the epoch timestamp, I successfully used the system's time function with the following Mojo code:
This works perfectly for obtaining the current time in seconds since the Unix epoch. However, my project requires time information with higher resolution, specifically, I need to access time in milliseconds or nanoseconds.
To achieve this, I understand that I need to use Unix's clock_gettime function, which can provide higher resolution timestamps. However, I am relatively new to Mojo and still strengthening my basics, particularly in working with the FFI module. I am struggling to figure out how to correctly invoke
Could anyone provide guidance or examples on how to properly call
Thank you in advance for your help and support!
