I think that clock() is cpu time while gettimeofday() is wallclock time. Maybe getrusage() should be used... But I have never used clock().

Hi
We had a AIX box built last year but was set to the correct GMT time, but using DST time zone. In march this year the clocks went forward without issues. (if I remember a couple of weeks early due to the DST zone)
This year we decided to change the clock to the correct time zone before... (0 Replies)

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.
The problems we actually encountered previously were - the applications kind of freeze/hang eternally on... (1 Reply)

This is a strange one, I've never seen anything like it; the realtime clock doesn't tick while the computer's idle, only when you're watching it. Leave for 3 hours and it'll be 3 hours off. It still advances when it's off however, or the time would be far more incorrect than it is.

drv_usectohz
drv_usectohz(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers drv_usectohz(9F)
NAME
drv_usectohz - convert microseconds to clock ticks
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ddi.h>
clock_t drv_usectohz(clock_t microsecs);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).
PARAMETERS
microsecs The number of microseconds to convert.
DESCRIPTION
drv_usectohz() converts a length of time expressed in microseconds to a number of system clock ticks. The time arguments to timeout(9F)
and delay(9F) are expressed in clock ticks.
drv_usectohz() is a portable interface for drivers to make calls to timeout(9F) and delay(9F) and remain binary compatible should the
driver object file be used on a system with a different clock speed (a different number of ticks in a second).
RETURN VALUES
The value returned is the number of system clock ticks equivalent to the microsecs argument. No error value is returned. If the clock
tick equivalent to microsecs is too large to be represented as a clock_t, then the maximum clock_t value will be returned.
CONTEXT
drv_usectohz() can be called from user or interrupt context.
SEE ALSO
delay(9F), drv_hztousec(9F), timeout(9F)
