# Method gethrdtime()

Method gethrdtime

  `int gethrdtime(void|int nsec)`

Description

  Return the high resolution real time spent with threads disabled since the Pike interpreter was started. The time is normally returned in microseconds, but if the optional argument nsec is nonzero it's returned in nanoseconds.

Note

  The actual accuracy on many systems is significantly less than microseconds or nanoseconds. See System.REAL_TIME_RESOLUTION.
