How would they return me the 'value' of 'ticks'?

The problem is... I have a value's somewhere that has been assigned from 
'ticks', like:
ptr -> value   = ticks;

at an other moment I need to do something like...

age   = boottime + ( ticks - ptr -> value ) / factor;

The problem in the second case however is that I can not seem to get to 
'ticks' as it is userland code...

Thanks!
Jan
