# GetTSecTime

Obtains the current time in tenths of a second.

### Synopsis

`int32 GetTSecTime (Item ioreq)`

### Description

Obtains the current value of the system microsecond timer, converts the seconds and microseconds into a single tenths-of-a-second value, and returns the converted value.

The return value will overflow an int32 representation after the machine has been powered on for about 7 years. Chances are good that this is safe even in a cable TV or other long-running environment.

### Arguments

### Return Value

Positive number of tenths-of-a-second or a negative error code.
