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
for your system - this tells you the finest time resolution available on your system.
Hello
I got a cycle in the script which open another scripts.
if
then
action
fi
Scripts action will be running 2 times at the same time.
Inside of action() is insert into the table.
But what I want is that only first script can do insert into table.
So how to do... (2 Replies)

Hello,
I have a question:
is there a way to have a "for" cycle done a certain number of times. For example in c++ I can do this:
for (i=o;i<10;i++)
and the cycle will be repeated 10 times.
in UNIX for example I do this:
for i in `cat /etc/host` do done
and the cycle will be repeated... (6 Replies)

Dear all,
I want to create a table using a shell script. Hope someone can help.
I created a variable that contains the path for different files.
For all the files I want to do calculations and print it to stdout (or file) as a table.
I tried this code:

clock
CLOCK(3) Linux Programmer's Manual CLOCK(3)NAME
clock - Determine processor time
SYNOPSIS
#include <time.h>
clock_t clock(void);
DESCRIPTION
The clock() function returns an approximation of processor time used by the program.
RETURN VALUE
The value returned is the CPU time used so far as a clock_t; to get the number of seconds used, divide by CLOCKS_PER_SEC. If the processor
time used is not available or its value cannot be represented, the function returns the value (clock_t) -1.
CONFORMING TO
C89, C99, POSIX.1-2001. POSIX requires that CLOCKS_PER_SEC equals 1000000 independent of the actual resolution.
NOTES
The C standard allows for arbitrary values at the start of the program; subtract the value returned from a call to clock() at the start of
the program to get maximum portability.
Note that the time can wrap around. On a 32-bit system where CLOCKS_PER_SEC equals 1000000 this function will return the same value
approximately every 72 minutes.
On several other implementations, the value returned by clock() also includes the times of any children whose status has been collected via
wait(2) (or another wait-type call). Linux does not include the times of waited-for children in the value returned by clock(). The
times(2) function, which explicitly returns (separate) information about the caller and its children, may be preferable.
