hc_nvr_add_timestamp
Adds new metadata value of type timestamp.
Synopsis
#include
hcerr_t hc_nvr_add_timestamp(hc_nvr_t *nvr,
hc_string_t name,
struct timespec *value);
Description
This function adds a new metadata name-value-type tuple to a designated name-value record,
where type is hc_timestamp_t. The struct timespec is defined in the POSIX standard:
time_t tv_sec; /* seconds */
long tv_nsec; /* and nanoseconds */
where tv_sec is measured since the UNIX epoch (00:00:00 UTC on January 1, 1970). The
maximum value of tv_sec is truncated by three decimal digits owing to database limitations
and tv_nsec is truncated to milliseconds. The name-value record automatically expands as
needed. The name and value are copied into the structure.
Parameters
nvr
Points to a name-value-record.
name
IN: Name for the tuple.
value
IN: The ’struct timespec’ (time.h) value.
Return Codes
HCERR_OK
HCERR_BAD_REQUEST
HCERR_OOM
HCERR_INVALID_NVR
HCERR_ILLEGAL_ARGUMENT
HCERR_ILLEGAL_VALUE_FOR_METADATA
HCERR_NO_SUCH_ATTRIBUTE
