see the functions in time.h -- such as time(0) will return the current time in seconds since 1970 (or something like that). Then localtime() will convert it to a structure tm. There is also a gmtime() that converts the time(0) to GMT instead of local time.

You have to format the stamp yourself from the information received from the functions Ancient Dragon suggested you look into.

The functions in time.h will not give you milliseconds. For that you need to call other os-specific functions. For MS-Windows you can call the win32 api GetSystemTime() which fills in a structure for you and, on most Windows systems, will give you milliseconds. After you call that function you will have to format the information however you want it.
