"curlx.h"

timeval.[ch]
============

 Provides a 'struct timeval' for platforms that don't have one already, and
 includes the proper include files for those that have one. Using this will
 make the output require the 'winmm' lib on Windows (unless WITHOUT_MM_LIB
 is defined at compile-time).

 curlx_tvnow()

   returns a struct timeval for the current time.

   milliseconds.

 curlx_tvdiff_secs()

   returns the same as curlx_tvdiff but with full usec resolution (as a
   double)

FUTURE
======

 Several functions will be removed from the public curl_ name space in a
 future libcurl release. They will then only become available as curlx_
 functions instead. To make the transition easier, we already today provide
 these functions with the curlx_ prefix to allow sources to get built properly
 with the new function names. The functions this concerns are:

      curlx_getenv
      curlx_strequal
      curlx_strnequal
      curlx_mvsnprintf
      curlx_msnprintf
      curlx_maprintf
