Module time - Time utilities
Time utilities.
occam TIMERs measure a INT count of timer ticks that wraps around periodically. The length of a timer tick varies between platforms; on 32-bit platforms it's typically one microsecond (one million ticks per second), and on 16-bit platforms typically one millisecond (one thousand ticks per second).
Using this module, you can write programs that are largely independent of the timer resolution.
