Summary

In this chapter, we explored the different timers available within the Linux environment. Subsequently, we gained an understanding of the significance behind the clock epoch and the concept of UNIX time. Following this, we delved into the practical implementation of POSIX in Linux for accurate time measurement. Additionally, we investigated the realm of std::chrono and examined the array of capabilities that C++ affords for effective time-related operations. Our exploration then took us on a detailed journey through duration, timepoints, and clocks as they are defined within the std::chrono framework. Moving forward, we acquainted ourselves with the various clock types at our disposal within std::chrono. As our journey continued, we initiated our exploration into the calendar capabilities presented by std::chrono. Finally, we developed familiarity with time zones and honed our proficiency in executing seamless time conversions utilizing the tools offered by std::chrono. Now...
