  Description     : get the current time in microseconds

 Date.now() will only give you accuracy in milliseconds. This module calls
 gettimeofday(2) to get the time in microseconds and provides it in a few
 different formats. The same warning from that function applies: The
 resolution of the system clock is hardware dependent, and the time may be
 updated continuously or in ``ticks.''
