Hi,

Can you please tell me if there is a way to get current time in nanoseconds using boost date_time library?
I have tried following but it doesn't seems to be returning values in nanoseconds. I know I have used microsec_clock and that might be the problem but not sure what alternate to use.
Any help will be appreciated.

hrtime_t getCurrentTime() {
    boost::posix_time::ptime recvTime = boost::posix_time::microsec_clock::local_time();
    boost::posix_time::time_duration duration( recvTime.time_of_day() );
    return duration.total_nanoseconds(); // This call returns values in microseconds (last three digits are always zero in returned value)
}

Thanks
Priyank
