notes: |
  The directive does not access a device to get the time.  It uses a recent
  snapshot provided by the ${/glossary/clock-driver:/term}.  Alternatively, the
  ${get-monotonic-timeval:/name} directive may be used to get the time in a
  higher resolution and with a higher runtime overhead.

  See ${get-monotonic-coarse:/name} and ${get-monotonic-coarse-bintime:/name}
  to get the time in alternative formats.

    is the pointer to a ${/c/if/timeval:/name} object.  The time elapsed since
    some fixed time point in the past measured using the
    ${/glossary/clock-monotonic:/term} at some time point close to the
    directive call will be stored in this object.  Calling the directive with a
    pointer equal to ${/c/if/null:/name} is undefined behaviour.
