29 the realtime (wallclock) timestamp of the time the message was

31 the <code class="constant">CLOCK_REALTIME</code> clock.</p><p><code class="function">sd_bus_message_get_seqnum()</code> returns the
32 kernel-assigned sequence number of the message. The kernel assigns
33 a global, monotonically increasing sequence number to all messages
34 transmitted on the local system, at the time the message was sent.
35 This sequence number is useful for determining message send order,
e3bff60a 36 even across different buses of the local system. The sequence

37 number combined with the boot ID of the system (as returned by
38 <a href="sd_id128_get_boot.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">sd_id128_get_boot</span>(3)</span></a>)
39 is a suitable globally unique identifier for bus messages.</p><p>Note that the sending order and receiving order of messages
40 might differ, in particular for broadcast messages. This means
41 that the sequence number and the timestamps of messages a client
42 reads are not necessarily monotonically increasing.</p><p>These timestamps and the sequence number are attached to
43 each message by the kernel and cannot be manipulated by the
44 sender.</p><p>Note that these timestamps are only available on some bus
45 transports, and only after support for them has been negotiated
