Member Function Documentation

const PreciseTime& TimeStamp::getTime (   )  const throw ()

Return the time of last modification. Returns: the time stamp

bool TimeStamp::isNewerThan (  const TimeStamp &  stamp  )  const throw ()

Check the time stamp.

bool TimeStamp::isNewerThan (  const PreciseTime &  time  )  const throw ()

Check the time stamp.

bool TimeStamp::isOlderThan (  const TimeStamp &  stamp  )  const throw ()

Check the time stamp.

bool TimeStamp::isOlderThan (  const PreciseTime &  time  )  const throw ()

Check the time stamp.

bool TimeStamp::read (  PersistenceManager &  pm  )  throw ()

Persistent stream reading. This method reads the contents of a TimeStamp object from the persistent stream using the readPrimitive method of the PersistenceManager. Parameters: pm  the persistence manager

virtual void TimeStamp::stamp (  const PreciseTime &  time = PreciseTime::ZERO  )  throw () [virtual]

Update the time stamp. Store the value of time in the internal time stamp. If time is 0, use the current time (as given by PreciseTime::now ). Parameters: time  the new time stamp (default = PreciseTime::now )

void TimeStamp::write (  PersistenceManager &  pm  )  const throw ()

Persistent stream writing. This method writes the contents of the TimeStamp objects to the persistent stream using the writePrimitive method of the PersistenceManager. Parameters: pm  the persistence manager
