These are just constants that you can multiply things by in order to scale units. If you want to get a
const now : (-> time)
Returns the current time in signed microseconds since the Unix epoch. Can represent dates approximatelyl 70,000 years in either direction from the present.
generic hosttonet : (v : @a -> @a) :: integral,numeric @a
generic nettohost : (v : @a -> @a) :: integral,numeric @a
Converts a value to and from big endian byte order, respectively. These functions are useful for some poorly designed protocols, but should be avoided when possible.
generic putle64 : (buf : byte[:], v : @a::(numeric,integral) -> size)
generic putbe64 : (buf : byte[:], v : @a::(numeric,integral) -> size)
generic putle32 : (buf : byte[:], v : @a::(numeric,integral) -> size)
generic putbe32 : (buf : byte[:], v : @a::(numeric,integral) -> size)
generic putle16 : (buf : byte[:], v : @a::(numeric,integral) -> size)
generic putbe16 : (buf : byte[:], v : @a::(numeric,integral) -> size)
generic putle8 : (buf : byte[:], v : @a::(numeric,integral) -> size)
generic putbe8 : (buf : byte[:], v : @a::(numeric,integral) -> size)
These functions pack integers into buffers. The suffix describes the number of
bits that will be packed -- the values will be implicitly converted to an
integer that is nbits long before packing into the buffer. Signed integers
will be sign extended, and unsigned ones will be zero extended.
generic getle64 : (buf : byte[:] -> @a::(numeric,integral))
generic getbe64 : (buf : byte[:] -> @a::(numeric,integral))
generic getle32 : (buf : byte[:] -> @a::(numeric,integral))
generic getbe32 : (buf : byte[:] -> @a::(numeric,integral))
generic getle16 : (buf : byte[:] -> @a::(numeric,integral))
generic getbe16 : (buf : byte[:] -> @a::(numeric,integral))
generic getle8 : (buf : byte[:] -> @a::(numeric,integral))
generic getbe8 : (buf : byte[:] -> @a::(numeric,integral))
These functions unpack integers from buffers. The numeric suffix describes how many bits will be extracted from the buffer. The value will implicitly be truncated or widened to the result returned by the specialization of this function.
