I am using MSVS 2006 and trying to find time in microseconds in my program. I try to call sys/time.h in the header but this error is compiled.

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sys/time.h': No such file or directory
Error executing cl.exe.
and this is my code,
#include<sys/time.h>
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
   struc timeval stop,start;
   gettimeofday(&start,NULL);
   /*my function here*/
   gettimeofday(&stop,NULL);
   printf("took %lu usec\n",stop.tv_usec-start.tv_usec);
                Unfortunately, there is no sys\time.h header file in MSVC. Instead, try one of the following links for some help coding this on Windows. stackoverflow 1676036 stackoverflow 2494356

                <sys/time.h> is a POSIX header, not part of the C/C++ standard library. If you are using C++ the standard header is <ctime>
