Using the gnulib strftime replacement function, you can use %N for nanoseconds, and you can also use a number in front to get the required precision. gnulib strftime is the same function that (GNU) date uses, hence you can try it out: $ date '+%T.%3N' ; date '+%T.%N' 14:25:27.840 14:25:27.842204825 The gnulib {,n}strftime function takes extra parameters, one of which carries the nanosecond value (ns). Have a look at hivex.git/.gnulib/tests/test-strftime.c to see an example.
