NAME

clock - report CPU time used

SYNOPSIS

#include <time.h>

clock_t clock(void);

DESCRIPTION

clock returns the amount of time passed (in 200Hz clock ticks) since the program was started.

BUGS

This function is hopelessly different from the UN*X function clock, which returns CPU time used by the program and all its terminated children, instead of real time elapsed since the program started.
