Clock library

---

Detailed Description

The clock library is the interface between Contiki and the platform specific clock functionality. The clock library performs a single function: measuring time. Additionally, the clock library provides a macro, CLOCK_SECOND, which corresponds to one second of system time.

Note:

The clock library need in many cases not be used directly. Rather, the timer library should be used.
