 * vlc_tick.h: high resolution time management functions
 *****************************************************************************
 * This header provides portable high precision time management functions,
 * which should be the only ones used in other segments of the program, since
 * functions like gettimeofday() and ftime() are not always supported.
 * Most functions are declared as inline or as macros since they are only
 * interfaces to system calls and have to be called frequently.
 * 'm' stands for 'micro', since maximum resolution is the microsecond.
 * Functions prototyped are implemented in interface/mtime.c.

/**
 * High precision date or time interval
 *
 * Store a high precision date or time interval. The maximum precision is the
 * microsecond, and a 64 bits integer is used to avoid overflows (maximum
 * time interval is then 292271 years, which should be long enough for any
 * video). Dates are stored as microseconds since a common date (usually the
 * epoch). Note that date and time intervals can be manipulated using regular
 * arithmetic operators, and that no special functions are required.
