SYS-MILLISEC(2)SYS-MILLISEC(2)NAME
millisec - millisecond timer
SYNOPSIS
include "sys.m";
sys := load Sys Sys->PATH;
millisec: fn(): int;
DESCRIPTION
Millisec returns the value of an internal system clock, in millisec‐
onds. The actual resolution of the clock is a property of the underly‐
ing system and may be coarser than a millisecond. The epoch is arbi‐
trary, so millisec is useful for measuring durations but not absolute
time. If the system operates continuously, the millisecond counter
overflows every few months; a reboot resets the epoch.
