ИМЯ
clock - determine processor time
БИБЛИОТЕКА
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
СИНТАКСИС
#include <time.h>
clock_t clock(void);
ОПИСАНИЕ
The clock() function returns an approximation of processor time
used by the program.
ЗНАЧЕНИЕ, ВОЗВРАЩАЕМОЕ ФУНКЦИЕЙ
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.

ВЕРСИИ
XSI requires that CLOCKS_PER_SEC equals 1000000 independent of
the actual resolution.
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.
СТАНДАРТЫ
C11, POSIX.1-2008.
ИСТОРИЯ
POSIX.1-2001, C89.
In glibc 2.17 and earlier, clock() was implemented on top of
times(2). For improved accuracy, since glibc 2.18, it is
implemented on top of clock_gettime(2) (using the
CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID clock).
ПРИМЕЧАНИЯ
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.
