* mtime.h: high rezolution time management functions
* (c)1999 VideoLAN
*****************************************************************************
27 years ago
* 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.

* mtime_t: high precision date or time interval
*****************************************************************************
27 years ago
* Store an high precision date or time interval. The maximum precision is the
* micro-second, and a 64 bits integer is used to avoid any overflow (maximum
* time interval is then 292271 years, which should be length enough for any
27 years ago
* video). Date are stored as a time interval since a common date.
* Note that date and time intervals can be manipulated using regular arithmetic
27 years ago
* operators, and that no special functions are required.

* returning the date of the first image to be displayed. It can be used in
