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
ANSI C. 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 32bit system where CLOCKS_PER_SEC equals 1000000 this function will return the same value approx-
imately 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() (or another wait-type call). Linux does not include the times of waited-for children in the value returned by clock(). The times()
function, which explicitly returns (separate) information about the caller and its children, may be preferable.
