Util API

Here are some of the utility APIs provided by NormShield.

Ticks Operations

Some of the APIs use a type of parameter which contain date time information, such as lastruninticks. Most of the time this parameter is used for getting relevant information that take place after a specific date time. Vulnerabilities and alarms produced by NormShield are the two important information in this category.

Important: NormShield uses .NET's DateTime ticks whose value represents the number of 100-nanosecond intervals that have elapsed since 12:00:00 midnight, January 1, 0001.
