Is there an objective-c/iPhone version of currentTimeMillis() from Java?

Question

I need to time some events in the app I\'m working on. In Java i used to be able to call currentTimeMillis() but there doesnt seem to be a version in Objective-c. Is there a way

Answer 1

[[NSDate date] timeIntervalSince1970] * 1000 returns a the same value as currentTimeMillis()

CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent() and [NSDate timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate] both return a double starting at Jan 1 2001 00:00:00 GMT.
