I used this piece of code to get timestamp in microsecond in c/c++. but it doesn't look like microsecond. also i don't know if there is any way to format it.
timeval curTime;
gettimeofday(&curTime, NULL);
int milli = curTime.tv_usec / 1000;
unsigned long micro = curTime.tv_usec*(uint64_t)1000000+curTime.tv_usec;
char buffer [80];
//localtime is not thread safe
strftime(buffer, 80, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", localtime(&curTime.tv_sec));
char currentTime[84] = "";
char currentTime2[80] = "";
sprintf(currentTime, "%s:%3d", buffer, milli);
sprintf(currentTime2, "%s:%Lu", buffer, micro);
printf("time %s, hptime %s\n", currentTime, currentTime2);
and what is the right format to output it? Thank you!
Answer
Something a bit shorter to try (C++):
using std::chrono;
__int64 microseconds_since_epoch = duration_cast<microseconds>(system_clock::now().time_since_epoch()).count();
