Hmmm not sure then. I have the time format set on pH:MM:SS AMPM and the only one it'll show am/pm on is the "plain". Oh well I tend to like the "plain" setting better since it displays the date too.

Hey all,
i need a program to get the CPU ticks at certain points of my program. So, i thought about using the clock function, but i'm having a hard time figuring out how it really works. I wrote this simple program to try to understand it but it made me feel more confused:

Hi there!!!
Need your help in solving some tricky problems.
Since clock() as such is buggy on SUN OS 5 we have started using gettimeofday() in our RTOS applications based on Solaris 9.

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).
