No. read the man page - it returns CLOCKS_PER_SEC. This is implementation defined. There is no POSIX standard UNIX api that actually tracks clock ticks. You can use the following api calls to get what you want in different ways, but none actually returns real ticks of the CPU clock. If they do it is more coincidental than anything else. You have Windows in mind I think:

getrusage() - check out struct rusage
gettimeofday() - very fine grained time
times() - same granularity as clock()
but gives system + user time for both parent and children.

Also, check out the CLOCK_REALTIME macro in time.h and
Code:
getconf _POSIX_CLOCKRES_MIN

for your system - this tells you the finest time resolution available on your system.

clock(3C)						   Standard C Library Functions 						 clock(3C)

NAME
clock - report CPU time used SYNOPSIS
#include <time.h> clock_t clock(void); DESCRIPTION
The clock() function returns the amount of CPU time (in microseconds) used since the first call to clock() in the calling process. The time reported is the sum of the user and system times of the calling process and its terminated child processes for which it has executed the wait(3C) function, the pclose(3C) function, or the system(3C) function. RETURN VALUES
Dividing the value returned by clock() by the constant CLOCKS_PER_SEC, defined in the <time.h> header, will give the time in seconds. If the process time used is not available or cannot be represented, clock returns the value (clock_t) -1. USAGE
The value returned by clock() is defined in microseconds for compatibility with systems that have CPU clocks with much higher resolution. Because of this, the value returned will wrap around after accumulating only 2147 seconds of CPU time (about 36 minutes). ATTRIBUTES
