<p>Libev represents time as a single floating point number, representing the
(fractional) number of seconds since the (POSIX) epoch (somewhere near
the beginning of 1970, details are complicated, don't ask). This type is
called <code>ev_tstamp</code>, which is what you should use too. It usually aliases
to the double type in C.</p>

<p>If you use threads, a common model is to run the default event loop
in your main thread (or in a separate thrad) and for each thread you

create, you also create another event loop. Libev itself does no locking
whatsoever, so if you mix calls to the same event loop in different
threads, make sure you lock (this is usually a bad idea, though, even if

This can be used to create very complex timers, such as a timer that

next midnight after C<now> and return the timestamp value for this. How you do this
