(** Clock devices for MirageOS

    This module define clock devices signatures for MirageOS.

    {e Release v4.2.0} *)

(** {2 POSIX clock}

    Clock counting time since the Unix epoch. Subject to adjustment by e.g. NTP. *)
module type PCLOCK = sig
  val now_d_ps : unit -> int * int64
  (** [now_d_ps ()] is [(d, ps)] representing the POSIX time occurring at [d] *
      86'400e12 + [ps] POSIX picoseconds from the epoch 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.
      [ps] is in the range \[[0];[86_399_999_999_999_999L]\]. *)

  val current_tz_offset_s : unit -> int option
  (** [current_tz_offset_s ()] is the clock's current local time zone offset to
      UTC in seconds, if known. This is the duration local time - UTC time in
      seconds. *)

  val period_d_ps : unit -> (int * int64) option
  (** [period_d_ps ()] is [Some (d, ps)] representing the clock's picosecond
      period [d] * 86'400e12 + [ps], if known. [ps] is in the range
      \[[0];[86_399_999_999_999_999L]\]. *)
end

(** {2 Monotonic clock}

    Clock returning monotonic time since an arbitrary point. To be used for e.g.
    profiling. *)
module type MCLOCK = sig
  val elapsed_ns : unit -> int64
  (** [elapsed_ns ()] is a monotonically increasing count of nanoseconds elapsed
      since some arbitrary point *)

  val period_ns : unit -> int64 option
  (** [period_ns ()] is [Some ns] representing the clock's nanosecond period
      [ns], if known *)
end
