add cqueues.gettime #249

Closed fperrad closed 3 years ago

fperrad commented 3 years ago

it is an equivalent of socket.gettime

gettime returns an epoch time with ms (milli second) precision.

note: monotime allows to compute duration with us (micro second) precision or better.

This seems out of place for cqueues: there isn't anywhere related to cqueues that this function would be recommended.

Consider lunix instead.

fperrad commented 3 years ago

make sense.

lunix seems to be a good alternative to LuaPosix.

on https://github.com/wahern/lunix/tags, there is rel-20190403. but on luarocks.org, you stay with 20170920
