2 * vlc_mtime.h: high resolution time management functions
3 *****************************************************************************
4 * This header provides portable high precision time management functions,
5 * which should be the only ones used in other segments of the program, since
6 * functions like gettimeofday() and ftime() are not always supported.
7 * Most functions are declared as inline or as macros since they are only
8 * interfaces to system calls and have to be called frequently.
9 * 'm' stands for 'micro', since maximum resolution is the microsecond.
10 * Functions prototyped are implemented in interface/mtime.c.
