# markertime

Writes timestamp for use by DSHGoMarker.

### Synopsis

`markertime <time>`

### Description

`Markertime tells` the Weaver to write the physical byte offset of the first chunk with a timestamp of time in the output file. This byte offset can be used in `DSHGoMarker()` calls and in CTRL-GOTO chunks to seek the DSL to another point in a stream. You do not need to define a `markertime` 0 in order to call `DSHGoMarker()` to jump to this location.

Use `markertime` in conjunction with `writemarkertable.`

### Arguments

time
  0 to 7FFFFFFF (hex)-audio ticks

### Caveats

Define a markertime command in your Weaver script for every location to which you will go. The Weaver ensures that these locations are at the start of a physical block boundary. IF YOU JUMP TO UNDEFINED LOCATIONS YOU WILL GET STRANGE RESULTS!
