<h1>Clock interface</h1><hr><a name="_details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The clock interface is the interface between the <a class="el" href="a00156.html">timer library</a> and the platform specific clock functionality. 
<p>
The clock interface must be implemented for each platform that uses the <a class="el" href="a00156.html">timer library</a>.<p>
The clock interface does only one this: it measures time. The clock interface provides a macro, CLOCK_SECOND, which corresponds to one second of system time.<p>
