# Timers

Timer functions can be used to time operations (e.g., to see how much time has elapsed). First, you create a new timer with g_timer_new(). You can then use g_timer_start() to start timing an operation, g_timer_stop() to stop timing an operation, and g_timer_elapsed() to determine the elapsed time.

    GTimer *g_timer_new( void );

    void g_timer_destroy( GTimer *timer );

    void g_timer_start( GTimer  *timer );

    void g_timer_stop( GTimer  *timer );

    void g_timer_reset( GTimer  *timer );

    gdouble g_timer_elapsed( GTimer *timer,
                             gulong *microseconds );
