xt_difftimeofday(3)	    Library Functions Manual	     xt_difftimeofday(3)

NAME
     xt_difftimeofday() - Compute difference between struct timeval values

LIBRARY
     #include <xtend/time.h>
     -lxtend

SYNOPSIS
     time_t  xt_difftimeofday(struct timeval *later, struct timeval *earlier)

ARGUMENTS
     later, earlier: timeval structures populated by gettimeofday(3)

DESCRIPTION
     xt_difftimeofday()  returns  the  difference,  in microseconds, between two
     time values returned by gettimeofday(3).  This function can be used to  get
     a	good  estimate	of  the  real  time elapsed in a process between any two
     points (where calls to gettimeofday(3) are strategically placed.)

     Use of these functions should have  minimal  impact  on  run  time,  unless
     called many times to measure time of a function with a very short run time.

RETURN VALUES
     The difference between the two times in microseconds

SEE ALSO
     gettimeofday(2), xt_tic(3), xt_toc(3)
