OTTimeStampInMicroseconds
Converts the difference between two timestamp values into microseconds.

C INTERFACE
UInt32 OTTimeStampInMicroseconds (OTTimeStamp* delta)
C++ INTERFACE
None. C++ applications use the C interface to this function.

PARAMETERS

delta
A reference to the value that you want to convert into microseconds. You would normally get this value by calling OTSubtractTimeStamps.
function result
The number of microseconds obtained after the timestamp value has been converted.

DISCUSSION
A return value of 0xffff ffff indicates that the converted delta value has overflowed 32 bits of microseconds.
Use the OTGetTimeStamp function to obtain the current timestamp.
Use the OTTimeStampInMilliseconds to convert a timestamp value to milliseconds.
