Syntax

numeric timestamp([option])
int                option

Timestamp granularity is in microseconds. Option values are defined in trim.h: .

option	function
timestamp_delta	If the `timestamp()` call is not part of an expression, then it sets the current timestamp. Otherwise it returns the delta timestamp in seconds and sets a new one. Calling with no parameter is the same as `timestamp_delta`
timestamp_tod	Returns the current time of day.

Displays the application run time for 10000 operations:

timestamp();
for (i=10000;i;i--) j = i * i * i * i;
printf("10000 operations took "^^timestamp()^^" seconds";
