Description

nlTime returns the seconds since midnight, January 1, 1970 just like time(). However, ts is also updated with the milliseconds and microseconds since the last whole second passed by.

Return values

NL_TRUE if no error occurs, otherwise NL_FALSE, and the specific error code can be retrieved by calling nlGetError
