This retrieves the beginning of the event. This corresponds to the [Start] column of the [Event] table.

Syntax

uint64_t truxton_event_get_start( uint64_t event_handle );

Parameters

event_handle

The handle created by the truxton_event_create call.

Return value

The date and time in FILETIME ticks.

Sample

void dump_event( uint64_t event_handle )
{
   char guid_string[ 40 ];

   truxton_event_get_file_id( event_handle, guid_string, sizeof(guid_string) );
   printf( "File ID is %s\n", guid_string );

   truxton_event_get_media_id( event_handle, guid_string, sizeof(guid_string) );
   printf( "Media ID is %s\n", guid_string );

   truxton_event_get_id( event_handle, guid_string, sizeof(guid_string) );
   printf( "Event ID is %s\n", guid_string );

   uint64_t value = truxton_event_get_type( event_handle );
   printf( "Type is %" PRIu64 "\n", value );

   value = truxton_event_get_start( event_handle );
   printf( "Start is %" PRIu64 "\n", value );

   value = truxton_event_get_end( event_handle );
   printf( "End is %" PRIu64 "\n", value );
}

The PRIu64 in the sample code above is a standard way of formatting a 64-bit unsigned integer in C. Over the years, different compilers on different operating systems used different format specifiers for things, these PRI macros, along with some tricky string concatenation the compilers perform for you, allow you to maintain a single code base without a bunch of macro magic.
