NAME
       taia_now - get current time

SYNTAX
       #include <taia.h>

       extern int taia_now(struct taia* t);

DESCRIPTION
       taia_now  puts  the  current  time  into t. More precisely: tai_now puts into t its best guess as to the TAI64NA label for the 1-attosecond
       interval that contains the current time.

       This implementation of taia_now assumes that the time_t returned from the  time	function  represents  the  number  of  TAI  seconds  since
       1970-01-01 00:00:10 TAI. This matches the convention used by the Olson tz library in ``right'' mode.

       Beware  that  many  clocks  are not set accurately, and even the best scientific clocks are nowhere near 1-attosecond accuracy; however, an
       inaccurate clock may still produce reasonably accurate time differences.
