OEMEthGetSecs

This function returns the number of seconds since some fixed time.

  DWORD OEMEthGetSecs (void);
   

Return Values

Count of seconds from some fixed time.

Remarks

This function is for handling timeouts while in polling mode. The origin of the count is unimportant as long as the count is incremental.

Do not make system calls from within the OEMEth* functions. Also, use caution and avoid calling OAL functions that may call system functions. For example, if OEMGetRealTime calls FileTimeToSystemTime, then OEMEthGetSecs should not call OEMGetRealTime.
