msr_host_latency - Man Page

#include <libmseed.h>

double  msr_host_latency ( MSRecord *msr );

msr_host_latency calculates the latency in seconds of the Mini-SEED data as the difference between current time in UTC of the host computer and the time of the last sample in the record.

This routine is only really useful when dealing with a telemetered data stream or something similar.

Double precision is returned, but the true precision is dependent on the accuracy of the host system clock among other things.

msr_host_latency returns seconds of latency or 0.0 on error (indistinguishable from 0.0 latency).

ms_intro(3) and msr_unpack(3).
