$Notice:
The author of this software MAKES NO WARRANTY as to the RELIABILITY,
SUITABILITY, or USABILITY of this software. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
This is a simple timing utility. It is in the public domain.
Anyone can use it, modify it, roll'n'smoke hardcopies of the source
code, sell it to the terrorists, etc.
But the author makes absolutely no warranty as to the reliability,
suitability, or usability of the software. There might be bad bugs
in here. It could delete all your files. It could format your
hard drive. I have no idea. If you lose all your files from using
it, it is your fault.

ctime is a simple utility that helps you keep track of how much time
you spend building your projects. You use it the same way you would
use a begin/end block profiler in your normal code, only instead of
profiling your code, you profile your build.
BASIC INSTRUCTIONS
------------------
On the very first line of your build script, you do something like this:
ctime -begin timings_file_for_this_build.ctm
and then on the very last line of your build script, you do
ctime -end timings_file_for_this_build.ctm
That's all there is to it! ctime will keep track of every build you
do, when you did it, and how long it took. Later, when you'd like to
get a feel for how your build times have evolved, you can type
ctime -stats timings_file_for_this_build.ctm
and it will tell you a number of useful statistics!
ADVANCED INSTRUCTIONS
---------------------
ctime has the ability to track the difference between _failed_ builds
and _successful_ builds. If you would like it to do so, you can capture
the error status in your build script at whatever point you want,
for example:
set LastError=%ERRORLEVEL%
and then when you eventually call ctime to end the profiling, you simply
pass that error code to it:
ctime -end timings_file_for_this_build.ctm %LastError%
ctime can also dump all timings from a timing file into a textual
format for use in other types of tools. To get a CSV you can import
into a graphing program or database, use:
ctime -csv timings_file_for_this_build.ctm
Also, you may want to do things like timing multiple builds separately,
or timing builds based on what compiler flags are active. To do this,
you can use separate timing files for each configuration by using
the shell variables for the build at the filename, eg.:
ctime -begin timings_for_%BUILD_NAME%.ctm
...
ctime -end timings_for_%BUILD_NAME%.ctm

Nice work. I think you should change the MAGIC_VALUE as the file format is not compatible

I updated my port to remove a crash when timings cross new year, see https://gist.github.com/nil-ableton/80294aad65abdf9e1dc764e12f4e2472
