Linux gettimeofday、timeradd、timercmp and example

gettimeofday

/* 根据时域获取当前时间 */
int gettimeofday(struct timeval *tv, struct timezone *tz);

参数定义如下：

struct timeval {
   time_t      tv_sec;     /* seconds */
    suseconds_t tv_usec;    /* microseconds */
};
struct timezone {
   int tz_minuteswest;     /* minutes west of Greenwich */
    int tz_dsttime;         /* type of DST correction */
};

timeradd

/* a和b相加的结果放到res中 */
void timeradd(struct timeval *a, struct timeval *b,
                     struct timeval *res);

timercmp

/*
compares the timer values in a and b using the comparison operator CMP, 
and returns true (nonzero) or false (0) depending on the result 
of the comparison. Some systems (but not Linux/glibc), have a 
broken timercmp() implementation, in which CMP of >=, <=, and 
== do not work; portable applications can instead use 
*/
int timercmp(struct timeval *a, struct timeval *b, CMP);

    max_timeout.tv_usec = 0;
    timeradd(&now, &max_timeout, &timeout);/* 计算超时后的时间 */

    start = ((unsigned long long)now.tv_sec * 1000000LL) + now.tv_usec; /* 记录开始时的时间 */

    while (1) {
        gettimeofday(&now, NULL);
        if (timercmp(&now, &timeout, >)) {/* 比较是否超时 */
            current = ((unsigned long long)now.tv_sec * 1000000LL) + now.tv_usec;
            printf("timeout happend after %llu seconds\n", (current / 1000000) - (start / 1000000));
