measuring running time in c++

[anmaxp]

im working on a university project and need to make some benchmarking apps, but i need to know how can i measure the time the app takes to execute.

i mean, measure the time that goes by from the moment it loads until it finishes all processes and closes as soon as it's done.

what library/commands should i use???

For 1 second resolution, the time(2) function will work. ftime(3) will give millisecond resolution.

time -v sh -c "appname"

could someone please give me an example on how to implement ftime() to do this??

i need the output in milliseconds
