All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`static TAITime`	`now()`	Obtains the PTP (Precision Time Protocol) synchronized current time in TAI timescale.
`static int`	`offset()`	Fetches UTC to TAI offset by doing a native call to `ntp_gettimex` in case of a Linux machine.
`static play.api.libs.json.Format<TAITime>`	`taiTimeFormat(play.api.libs.json.Format<java.time.Instant> instantFormat)`
`UTCTime`	`toUTC()`	Converts the `TAITime` to `UTCTime` by subtracting the UTC-TAI offset.

  - now
```
public static TAITime now()
```
    Obtains the PTP (Precision Time Protocol) synchronized current time in TAI timescale. In case of a Linux machine, this will make a native call clock_gettime inorder to get time from the system clock with nanosecond precision In case of all the other operating systems, nanosecond precision is not supported, hence no native call is made.
    
    Returns:
    
    current time in TAI scale
  - offset
```
public static int offset()
```
    Fetches UTC to TAI offset by doing a native call to ntp_gettimex in case of a Linux machine. It ensures to get the latest offset as updated by the PTP Grandmaster.
    
    Returns:
    
    offset of UTC to TAI in seconds
  - value
```
public java.time.Instant value()
```
    Specified by:
    
    value in interface TMTTime
  - toUTC
```
public UTCTime toUTC()
```
    Converts the TAITime to UTCTime by subtracting the UTC-TAI offset. UTC-TAI offset is fetched by doing a native call to ntp_gettimex. It ensures to get the latest offset as updated by the PTP Grandmaster.
    
    Returns:
    
    UTC time at the given TAI time
