In c, i know how to get the secs, mins and hours. But how do i get the miliseconds?

when i'm on time apps at theat speed i use gettimeofday() functions, which give microseconds, let alone milliseconds:

Code:

struct timeval times[SAMPLES];

  for ( i = 0 ; i < SAMPLES ; i++ ) {
    gettimeofday( &times[i], NULL);
  set_pin(LP_PIN17);
  }

time = times[i].tv_usec - times[0].tv_usec;

well thats a few snippets of me using it... check the man page for more info
