time & date

[Sergey Solovyev]

I would like to measure the time of my function execution. I found
gdate interface in nsp help, but it's for year/month/day
representation as far as I understood it. is there any way to work
with the hours/minutes/seconds?

May be cputime() is what you want :

t0 = cputime();
............................
T = cputime() - t0;

it gives the cputime in second (cputime used getrusage most
of the cases).
