# Utility modules

These are various utility modules for other HackerBase libraries.

## util-time [module]

    (import util-time)

Compatibility module for the differences between chicken scheme
version 5.2 and earlier and 5.3 and on.

### current-util-milliseconds [procedure]

Returns the number of milliseconds since process startup.

Under chicken scheme <5.3 it uses ```current-milliseconds``` and for
chicken scheme >=5.3 it uses ```current-process-milliseconds```.

results in warnings on chicken scheme >=5.3 and compilation under
chicken scheme <5.3 results in error with
```current-process-milliseconds```.
