在软件设计中经常会用到关于时间的处理，用来计算语句、函数的执行时间，这时就需要精确到毫秒甚至是微妙的时间。
int gettimeofday(struct timeval *tv, struct timezone *tz);
int settimeofday(const struct timeval *tv , const struct timezone *tz);
struct timeval {
time_t tv_sec; /* seconds */
SUSEconds_t tv_usec; /* microseconds */
};
struct timezone {
int tz_minuteswest; /* minutes west of Greenwich */
int tz_dsttime; /* type of DST correction */
};
下面是个简单的例子，用来统计程序的执行时间：
…
struct timeval t_start,t_end;
long cost_time = 0;
//get start time
gettimeofday(&t_start, NULL);
printf(“Start time: %ld us”, t_start.tv_usec);
//some operation
…
//get end time
gettimeofday(&t_end, NULL);
printf(“End time: %ld us”, t_end.tv_usec);
//calculate time slot
cost_time = t_end.tv_usec – t_start.tv_usec;
printf(“Cost time: %ld us”, cost_time);
…
输出：
Start time: 438061 us
End time: 459867 us
Cost time: 21806 us
