Apple has defined a type value and a number of subtype values for clock components. All clock components have a component type value of 'clok' . The component subtype value indicates the type of clock. You can use the following constants to specify these type and subtype values.
#define clockComponentType 'clok' /* clock component type */
#define systemTickClock 'tick' /* system tick clock */
#define systemSecondClock 'seco' /* system seconds clock */
#define systemMillisecondClock 'mill' /* system millisecond clock */
#define systemMicrosecondClock 'micr' /* system microsecond clock */
