AtomicMonotonicWinApiTimestampGenerator Class

A timestamp generator that guarantees monotonically increasing timestamps among all client threads and logs warnings when timestamps drift in the future, using Win API high precision GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime() method call available in Windows 8+ and Windows Server 2012+.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	Next	Returns the next timestamp in microseconds since UNIX epoch. Implementers should enforce increasing monotonic timestamps, that is, a timestamp returned should always be strictly greater that any previously returned timestamp. Implementers should strive to achieve microsecond precision in the best possible way, which is usually largely dependent on the underlying operating system's capabilities. (Inherited from AtomicMonotonicTimestampGenerator.)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
