small library for retrieving Linux uptime in a nice struct
First release was linux only due to sysinfo; new version should be more portable and is tested to work on Linux and OS X. Developer does not have other systems available for testing currently.
makes a struct uptime_t available with following constructors:
- uptime_t() - updates to current uptime
- uptime_t(seconds) - seconds may be chrono::seconds or unsigned long int, sets timepoint automatically
functions available are following:
- days()
- hours()
- minutes()
- seconds()
- data()
all returning value corresponding to function's name as int except data which results in a struct holding all values.
both uptime_t and uptime_t::DATA support ostream redirection.
Library utilises std::chrono's durations days, hours and minutes when built with c++20 standard or newer, but has legacy functions available for older standards, such as c++17.
- clone this repository to sub directory uptime
- in your makefile include uptime/Makefile.inc
- link your binary with $(UPTIME_OBJS)
- add objs directory to root of your project
Paths are modifiable, check Makefiles. If you use some other kind of system, like cmake- you are on your own.
