Get current time in milliseconds, or HH:MM:SS:MMM format

Question

I\'ve written a c++ function to get the current time in HH:MM:SS format. How can I add milliseconds or nanoseconds, so I can have a format like HH:MM:SS:M

Answer 1

Instead of using time() (seconds since the epoch), try gettimeofday(). Gives you a structure that includes a microseconds field.
