GetTickCount
This function returns the number of milliseconds since boot time.
DWORD GetTickCount (void);
Return Values
The returned DWORD is a count of system ticks (or milliseconds) since boot time.
Remarks
The returned value should be used only to calculate time relative to other values returned by GetTickCount. After it reaches the highest possible value, the value wraps to zero and begins incrementing again. The value does not indicate time-of-day. To use time-of-day values, implement OEMGetRealTime and other related functions.
GetTickCount need only be called for platforms using CPUs that do not have well-defined timer channels.
