gettime Utility Code Listing

The gettime utility is a C program that is used by the PROBE program to track the elapsed time between restarts of the probe. You must compile this program and place it in the same directory as the callback methods, that is, the directory pointed to by the RT_basedir property.

# methods (RT_basedir).
