getRealTime

Queries the system wall-clock time.

This call is functionally equivalent to glib.global.getCurrentTime except that the return value is often more convenient than dealing with a #GTimeVal.

You should only use this call if you are actually interested in the real wall-clock time. glib.global.getMonotonicTime is probably more useful for measuring intervals.
