Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

.Sh SYNOPSIS

.In time.h

.Ft clock_t
|
|
.Fn clock void
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn clock
|
|
function
|
|
determines the amount of processor time used since the invocation of the
|
|
calling process, measured in
|
|
.Dv CLOCKS_PER_SEC Ns s
|
|
of a second.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn clock
|
|
function returns the amount of time used unless an error occurs, in which
|
|
case the return value is \-1.
|
|
.Sh SEE ALSO
|
|
.Xr getrusage 2 ,
|
|
.Xr clocks 7
|
|
.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn clock
|
|
function conforms to
|
|
.St -isoC .
|
|
However,
|
|
.St -susv2
|
|
requires
|
|
.Dv CLOCKS_PER_SEC
|
|
to be defined as one million.
|
|
.Fx
|
|
does not conform to this requirement;
|
|
changing the value would introduce binary incompatibility
|
|
and one million is still inadequate on modern processors.
