[Freeswitch-users] Current timestamp variable in dialplan?

[Gregor Nanger]

If you would aks me, I would say that this simple functionality is
available in FS and within 2 minutes I can google it. But now I am
struggling for hours and can't find a solution to print, log... current
time in microseconds or nanoseconds. If %q would work in strftime it would
be a solution, but it doesn't work.

Is there another tool to display the current time in micro/nano seconds?
