returns the monotonic timestamp of the time the message was sent.
This value is in microseconds since the
<code class="constant">CLOCK_MONOTONIC</code> epoch, see
<a href="http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/clock_gettime.2.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">clock_gettime</span>(2)</span></a>
for details.</p><p>Similar,
<code class="function">sd_bus_message_get_realtime_usec()</code> returns
the realtime (wallclock) timestamp of the time the message was
sent. This value is in microseconds since Jan 1st, 1970, i.e. in
the <code class="constant">CLOCK_REALTIME</code> clock.</p><p><code class="function">sd_bus_message_get_seqnum()</code> returns the
kernel-assigned sequence number of the message. The kernel assigns
a global, monotonically increasing sequence number to all messages
transmitted on the local system, at the time the message was sent.
This sequence number is useful for determining message send order,
even across different busses of the local system. The sequence
number combined with the boot ID of the system (as returned by
<a href="sd_id128_get_boot.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">sd_id128_get_boot</span>(3)</span></a>)
is a suitable globally unique identifier for bus messages.</p><p>Note that the sending order and receiving order of messages
might differ, in particular for broadcast messages. This means
that the sequence number and the timestamps of messages a client
reads are not necessarily monotonically increasing.</p><p>These timestamps and the sequence number are attached to
each message by the kernel and cannot be manipulated by the
sender.</p><p>Note that these timestamps are only available on some bus
transports, and only after support for them has been negotiated
with the
