Source.getTime

long getTime()

Gets the time to be used when checking this source. The advantage of calling this function over calling [glib.global.getMonotonicTime] directly is that when checking multiple sources, GLib can cache a single value instead of having to repeatedly get the system monotonic time.

The time here is the system monotonic time, if available, or some other reasonable alternative otherwise. See [glib.global.getMonotonicTime].

Returns

the monotonic time in microseconds
