static NLMISC::TTime	getUniTime ()
	Return the time in millisecond. This time is the same on all computers at the same moment.

	Return the time in a string format to be display.

	Return the time in a string format to be display.

	You need to call this function before calling getUniTime or an assert will occured.
static void	installServer (CCallbackServer *server)
	Call this function in the init part of the front end service to enable time syncro between shard and clients.
static void	syncUniTimeFromServer (CCallbackClient *client)
	Call this functions in the init part of the client side to synchronize between client and shard.
static void	setUniTime (NLMISC::TTime uTime, NLMISC::TTime lTime)
static void	setUniTime (NLMISC::TTime uTime)
static void	simulate ()
	Call this method before to prevent syncUniTimeFromService() from real synchronization: syncUniTimeFromService() will still communicate with the time service, as usual, but the local time will not be synchronized.

void NLNET::_CUniTime::syncUniTimeFromServer ( CCallbackClient * client ) [static]

Call this functions in the init part of the client side to synchronize between client and shard.

client is the connection between the client and the front end. The connection must be established before calling this function.

void NLNET::_CUniTime::syncUniTimeFromService	(	CCallbackNetBase::TRecordingState	rec = `CCallbackNetBase::Off`,
		const CInetAddress *	addr = `NULL`
	)			`[static]`

You need to call this function before calling getUniTime or an assert will occured.

This function will connect to the time service and synchronize your computer. This function assumes that all services run on server that are time synchronized with NTP for example. If addr is NULL, the function will connect to the Time Service via the Naming Service. In this case, the CNamingClient must be connected to a Naming Service. This function can be called *ONLY* by services that are inside of the shard. Don't use it for a client or a service outside of the shard.
