Module `B0_std.Time`

Measuring time.

Support to measure monotonic wall-clock time, CPU user and CPU system time.

Monotonic time spans

type span: The type for non-negative monotonic time spans. They represent the difference between two clock readings with nanosecond precision (1e-9s).

module Span : sig ... end: Time spans

Monotonic wall-clock time counters

type counter: The type for monotonic wall-clock time counters.

val counter : unit -> counter: counter () is a counter counting from now on.

val count : counter -> span: count c is the monotonic time span elapsed since c was created.

CPU time spans

type cpu_span: The type for CPU execution time spans.

val cpu_zero : cpu_span: cpu_zero is zero CPU times.

val cpu_utime : cpu_span -> span: cpu_utime_s cpu is cpu's user time in seconds.

val cpu_stime : cpu_span -> span: cpu_stime_s cpu is cpu's system time in seconds.

val cpu_children_utime : cpu_span -> span: cpu_utime_s cpu is cpu's user time in seconds for children processes.

val cpu_children_stime : cpu_span -> span: cpu_utime_s cpu is cpu's system time in seconds for children processes.

val cpu_span_conv : cpu_span Conv.t: cpu_span_conv is a converter for cpu spans.

CPU time counters

type cpu_counter: The type for CPU time counters.

val cpu_counter : unit -> cpu_counter: cpu_counter () is a counter counting from now on.

val cpu_count : cpu_counter -> cpu_span: cpu_count c are CPU times since c was created.
