C++ obtaining milliseconds time on Linux — clock() doesn’t seem to work properly

by 
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main()
{
    struct timeval start, end;

    long mtime, seconds, useconds;    

    gettimeofday(&start, NULL);
    usleep(2000);
    gettimeofday(&end, NULL);

    seconds  = end.tv_sec  - start.tv_sec;
    useconds = end.tv_usec - start.tv_usec;

    mtime = ((seconds) * 1000 + useconds/1000.0) + 0.5;

    printf("Elapsed time: %ld milliseconds\n", mtime);

    return 0;
}
