gettimeofday gives you back the following struct:

Code:

struct timeval {
     time_t         tv_sec;        /* seconds */
     suseconds_t    tv_usec;  /* microseconds */
};

You can calculate the milliseconds from that.

man gettimeofday for more information.

PS. I've moved this to programming and merged your two threads.
