Regarding getting time in milliseconds

I am working on logger using C language on QNX platform using Momnetics to print time in following format

2010-11-02 14:45:15.000

I able to get date, hour, minutes, and seconds using 

 time(&timeSpec);
 struct tm gmt;
 int iSysTimeSec = timeSpec;
 gmtime_r((time_t *)&iSysTimeSec, &gmt);
 sprintf(&MsgStamp[0], SYS_MSG_STAMP_PRINTF_FORMAT, gmt.tm_year+1900, gmt.tm_mon + 1, gmt.tm_mday, gmt.tm_hour, gmt.tm_min, gmt.tm_sec, iSysTimeMs );

Question is how do i get milliseconds granularity using QNX Momentics.

I tried to get granulaity for milliseconds using QNX specific int iSysTimeMs = ( (ClockCycles () * 1000) / SYSPAGE_ENTRY(qtime)->cycles_per_sec ) % 1000;

but i want to do this POSIX way so that it is portable. How do we do this?

Thanks! Venkata

Solution

  • In QNX6 You can use the clock_gettime to have the max granularity allowed by system. 

    struct timespec start;
clock_gettime( CLOCK_REALTIME, &start);
