returns the monotonic timestamp of the time the
message was sent. This value is in microseconds since
the "<code class="literal">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="literal">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
