Logically, this is better, because we're describing a subset of possible return values. Visually this also looks quite good because groff renders refsect2 much less prominently. Also rewrap things, add <constant> in various places, fix some typos.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_event_now()</function> returns the time when
|
|
the most recent event loop iteration began. A timestamp
|
|
is taken right after returning from the event sleep, and before
|
|
dispatching any event sources. The <parameter>event</parameter>
|
|
parameter specifies the event loop object to retrieve the timestamp
|
|
from. The <parameter>clock</parameter> parameter specifies the clock to
|
|
retrieve the timestamp for, and is one of
|
|
<constant>CLOCK_REALTIME</constant> (or equivalently
|
|
<constant>CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM</constant>),
|
|
<constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant>, or
|
|
<constant>CLOCK_BOOTTIME</constant> (or equivalently
|
|
<constant>CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM</constant>), see
|
|
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>clock_gettime</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for more information on the various clocks. The retrieved
|
|
timestamp is stored in the <parameter>usec</parameter> parameter,
|
|
in µs since the clock's epoch. If this function is invoked before
|
|
the first event loop iteration, the current time is returned, as
|
|
reported by <function>clock_gettime()</function>. To distinguish
|
|
this case from a regular invocation the return value will be
|
|
positive, and zero when the returned timestamp refers to an actual
|
|
event loop iteration.</para>

<para>If the first event loop iteration has not run yet <function>sd_event_now()</function> writes
|
|
current time to <parameter>usec</parameter> and returns a positive return value. Otherwise, it will
|
|
write the requested timestamp to <parameter>usec</parameter> and return 0. On failure, the call returns a
|
|
negative errno-style error code.</para>
