I was asking around in #freebsdhelp on EFNet what the equivalent of GetTickCount() in the Win32 API is in FreeBSD. I need a way to properly determine passage of time that is not affected if I change the system clock for example. The only way I'm aware that you can do that is by counting the number of clock cycles since system startup. What function does that in FreeBSD? I'd also like a Linux way if possible. (that is a way that will work across all UNIX clones). Thanks and please include my email in the reply directly since I'm not signed up to this mailing list. Thanks once again. ---- Andrei Cojocaru spinlock_lists@empirequest.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
