   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.
