# 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.
