Structure

    typedef struct 
    { 
       uint32   seconds ; 
       uint16   replicaNumber ; 
       uint16   event ; 
    } DSETimeStamp;
    

Fields

seconds

Specifies in seconds when the event occurred. Zero equals 12:00 midnight, January 1, 1970, UTC.

replicaNumber

Specifies the number of the replica on which the change or event occurred.

event

Specifies an integer that further orders events occurring within the same whole-second interval.

Remarks

Two time stamp values are compared by comparing the seconds fields first and the event fields second. If the seconds fields are unequal, order is determined by the seconds field alone. If the seconds fields are equal, and the eventID fields are unequal, order is determined by the eventID fields. If the seconds and the event fields are equal, the time stamps are equal.
