- ** File: prinrval.h
- ** Description: API to interval timing functions of NSPR.
- **
- **
- ** NSPR provides interval times that are independent of network time
- ** of day values. Interval times are (in theory) accurate regardless
- ** of host processing requirements and also very cheap to acquire. It
- ** is expected that getting an interval time while in a synchronized
- ** function (holding one's lock).
