- Can anyone tell me why the ANSI C committee changed CLK_TCK to
- CLOCKS_PER_SEC, and how this is supposed to be different than the CLK_TCK
- that 1003.1 assumes the C standard defines?
-
- They both seem to mean the number of `clock_t' increments ("clock ticks") in
- one second, but ANSI has for some reason separated the two uses (for `clock'
- and for POSIX `times').
