clock - report CPU time used

#include <time.h>
clock_t clock(void);
The
clock() function shall return the implementation's best approximation
to the processor time used by the process since the beginning of an
implementation-defined era related only to the process invocation.
To determine the time in seconds, the value returned by
clock() should be
divided by the value of the macro CLOCKS_PER_SEC. CLOCKS_PER_SEC is
defined to be one million in
<time.h>. If the processor time used
is not available or its value cannot be represented, the function shall return
the value (
clock_t)-1.
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
None.
In order to measure the time spent in a program,
clock() should be called
at the start of the program and its return value subtracted from the value
returned by subsequent calls. The value returned by
clock() is defined
for compatibility across systems that have clocks with different resolutions.
The resolution on any particular system need not be to microsecond accuracy.
The value returned by
clock() may wrap around on some implementations.
For example, on a machine with 32-bit values for
clock_t, it wraps
after 2147 seconds or 36 minutes.
None.
