CLASS TEMPLATE(3)

NAME
boost::date_time::microsec_clock - A clock providing microsecond level resolution.

SYNOPSIS

// In header: <boost/date_time/microsec_time_clock.hpp>
template<typename time_type>
class microsec_clock {
public:
  // types
  typedef time_type::date_type          date_type;
  typedef time_type::time_duration_type time_duration_type;
  typedef time_duration_type::rep_type  resolution_traits_type;
  // public static functions
  template<typename time_zone_type>
    static time_type local_time(shared_ptr< time_zone_type >);
  static time_type local_time();
  static time_type universal_time();
  // private static functions
  static time_type create_time(time_converter);
};

DESCRIPTION

A high precision clock that measures the local time at a resolution up to microseconds and adjusts to the resolution of the time system. For example, for the a library configuration with nano second resolution, the last 3 places of the fractional seconds will always be 000 since there are 1000 nano-seconds in a micro second.
