|
A HaspTime object |
Usage Notes
Primarily used to obtain reliable timestamps that are independent of the system clock. Time values are returned as the number of seconds that have elapsed since Jan.-01-1970 0:00 hours UTC. This method reads the Sentinel protection key time, not the expiration date time.
