1、前言
时间对操作系统来说非常重要,从内核级到应用层,时间的表达方式及精度各部相同。linux内核里面用一个名为jiffes的常量来计算时间戳。应用层有time、getdaytime等函数。今天需要在应用程序获取系统的启动时间,百度了一下,通过sysinfo中的uptime可以计算出系统的启动时间。
2、sysinfo结构
sysinfo结构保持了系统启动后的信息,主要包括启动到现在的时间,可用内存空间、共享内存空间、进程的数目等。man sysinfo得到结果如下所示:
1 struct sysinfo { 2 long uptime; /* Seconds since boot */ 3 unsigned long loads[3]; /* 1, 5, and 15 minute load averages */ 4 unsigned long totalram; /* Total usable main memory size */ 5 unsigned long freeram; /* Available memory size */ 6 unsigned long sharedram; /* Amount of shared memory */ 7 unsigned long bufferram; /* Memory used by buffers */ 8 unsigned long totalswap; /* Total swap space size */ 9 unsigned long freeswap; /* swap space still available */10 unsigned short procs; /* Number of current processes */11 char _f[22]; /* Pads structure to 64 bytes */12 };
3、获取系统启动时间
通过sysinfo获取系统启动到现在的秒数,用当前时间减去这个秒数即系统的启动时间。程序如下所示:
1 #include2 #include 3 #include 4 #include 5 6 static int print_system_boot_time() 7 { 8 struct sysinfo info; 9 time_t cur_time = 0;10 time_t boot_time = 0;11 struct tm *ptm = NULL;12 if (sysinfo(&info)) {13 fprintf(stderr, "Failed to get sysinfo, errno:%u, reason:%s\n",14 errno, strerror(errno));15 return -1;16 }17 time(&cur_time);18 if (cur_time > info.uptime) {19 boot_time = cur_time - info.uptime;20 }21 else {22 boot_time = info.uptime - cur_time;23 }24 ptm = gmtime(&boot_time);25 printf("System boot time: %d-%-d-%d %d:%d:%d\n", ptm->tm_year + 1900,26 ptm->tm_mon + 1, ptm->tm_mday, ptm->tm_hour, ptm->tm_min, ptm->tm_sec);27 return 0; 28 }29 30 int main()31 {32 if (print_system_boot_time() != 0) {33 return -1;34 }35 return 0;36 }
测试结果如下所:
