As far as I know, the API to be used in gettimeofday();

Google says:
"On Linux we use the gettimeofday() API. It is the only API that times
at the sub-millisecond level."

Thanks

Dear Suneel,



In linux jiffies gives the clock ticks. This value is depends on the HZ
value defined in the linux/sched.h file.



The do_gettimeofday() will gives the values in structure variable of
type timeval structure which contains the two variables called seconds
and micro seconds. Structure timeval is included in the linux/time.h
file.
