Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

VMMcall Get_System_Time
 
mov     [SysTime], eax          ; system time in milliseconds
 
The Get_System_Time service returns the time in milliseconds since Windows
started. This service is accurate to 1 millisecond.
 
This is an asynchronous service.
 
This service has no parameters.
 
Return Value
 
The EAX register contains the elapsed time in milliseconds since Windows
started.
 
Comments
 
This service does not detect rollover of the clock which occurs every 49 ½
days. If a virtual device is sensitive to rollover, it should schedule a
time-out every 30 days
 
Although the Get_System_Time service is more accurate than the
Get_Last_Updated_System_Time service, Get_System_Time must call the timer
device to update the clock so it is slower than
Get_Last_Updated_System_Time.
