Hi,

< Is it a system call ? if yess can I use that in my perl code from syscall
< function ? , or is there any perl equivalent ?

        Its a function in libc.

        There is a perl module call Time::HR which you can
        get from CPAN, which works fine. 

        A cursory check with syscall(&SYS_gethrtime, $hrtime)
        fails, and even if it worked it would be messy (packing,
        unpacking and requiring h2ph to be run always seems like
        to much work).  

< It would be even ok if we had any command line equivalent as well so that we
< can use even in any shell scripts too..

        literally just use 

        hrtime_t t = gethrtime();

        in your c program and print out your result.

        For a commandline value I would recommend using the the
        kstat example as given by Dan, it is the number that all 
        the other utilities will be using.
