  Please note that these variables will continually update when they are requested, there is no need to create new Time() objects.

Variable usec_full

  `int System.Time.usec_full`

Description

  The number of microseconds since the epoch. Please note that pike needs to have been compiled with bignum support for this variable to contain sensible values.

  If fast is true, do not request a new time from the system, instead use the global current time variable.

  This will only work in callbacks, but can save significant amounts of CPU.
