MICROTIME(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual MICROTIME(9)NAME
bintime, getbintime, microtime, getmicrotime, nanotime, getnanotime -- get the current time
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/time.h>
void
bintime(struct bintime *bt);
void
getbintime(struct bintime *bt);
void
microtime(struct timeval *tv);
void
getmicrotime(struct timeval *tv);
void
nanotime(struct timespec *ts);
void
getnanotime(struct timespec *tsp);
DESCRIPTION
The bintime() and getbintime() functions store the system time as a struct bintime at the addresses specified by bt. The microtime() and
getmicrotime() functions perform the same utility, but record the time as a struct timeval instead. Similarly the nanotime() and
getnanotime() functions store the time as a struct timespec.
The bintime(), microtime(), and nanotime() functions always query the timecounter to return the current time as precisely as possible.
Whereas getbintime(), getmicrotime(), and getnanotime() functions are abstractions which return a less precise, but faster to obtain, time.
The intent of the getbintime(), getmicrotime(), and getnanotime() functions is to enforce the user's preference for timer accuracy versus
execution time.
SEE ALSO binuptime(9), getbinuptime(9), getmicrouptime(9), getnanouptime(9), microuptime(9), nanouptime(9), tvtohz(9)HISTORY
The bintime functions first appeared in FreeBSD 5.0. The microtime and nanotime functions first appeared in FreeBSD 3.0 but have existed in
other incarnations since 4.4BSD.

hiho,
any ideas?
why is this little script about 1000% slower on solaris than on linux:
<?php
function GetMicrotime(){
list($microseconds, $seconds) = explode(" ",microtime())
;
return ((float)$microseconds +... (0 Replies)
Here is a simple PHP script I wrote that times getting a link using mtime with curl and emails if it does not meet my objective. I use it in production for checking the performance of a Content Delivery Network (CDN), but you can use it for any web server.

Hello all,
Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction...
I have a script written in bash which is pretty basic and just stop/starts various services based on particular conditions. What I am trying to build is a reporting type function which will send out an email with various stats... (3 Replies)
Finally making some progress on getting rid of the 10 year old buttons with modern day fonts and icons thanks to a responsive web design tutorial by Brad Traversy who's video pointed me to Font Awesome.
The buttons and icons were pretty easy to implement but it too me a number of hours... (39 Replies)
