 * Time keeping for offline (non-live) packet handling (pcap files).
 * And time string generation for alerts.
 */

/* Real time vs offline time
 *
 * When we run on live traffic, time handling is simple. Packets have a
 * timestamp set by the capture method. Management threads can simply
 * use 'gettimeofday' to know the current time. There should never be
 * any serious gap between the two.
 *
 * In offline mode, things are dramatically different. Here we try to keep
 * the time from the pcap, which means that if the packets are in 2011 the
 * log output should also reflect this. Multiple issues:
 * 1. merged pcaps might have huge time jumps or time going backward
 * 2. slowly recorded pcaps may be processed much faster than their 'realtime'
 * 3. management threads need a concept of what the 'current' time is for
 *    enforcing timeouts
 * 4. due to (1) individual threads may have very different views on what
 *    the current time is. E.g. T1 processed packet 1 with TS X, while T2
 *    at the very same time processes packet 2 with TS X+100000s.
 *
 * In offline mode we keep the timestamp per thread. If a management thread
 * needs current time, it will get the minimum of the threads' values. This
 * is to avoid the problem that T2s time value might already trigger a flow
 * timeout as the flow lastts + 100000s is almost certainly meaning the flow
 * would be considered timed out.
