# $hptimestamp

Returns a high precision timestamp

Usage

    $hptimestamp

Description

Returns a high precision timestamp as a floaint point value. The timestamp represents the number of seconds elapsed since a certain moment in the past. The number of seconds contains a "high precision" fractional part. The "certain moment" definition depends on the platform KVIrc is executed. This means that this timestamp is totally useless to represent a time value but is useful to compute time intervals with sub-second precision.

Syntax Specification

    <float> $hptimestamp

Examples

        %tmp = $hptimestamp
        echo $($hptimestamp - %tmp)
