40  * \defgroup clock Clock library
41  *
42  * The clock library is the interface between Contiki and the platform
43  * specific clock functionality. The clock library defines a macro,
44  * CLOCK_SECOND, to convert seconds into the tick resolution of the platform.
45  * Typically this is 1-10 milliseconds, e.g. 4*CLOCK_SECOND could be 512.
46  * A 16 bit counter would thus overflow every 1-10 minutes.
47  * Platforms use the tick interrupt to maintain a long term count
48  * of seconds since startup.
49  *
50  * Platforms may also implement rtimers for greater time resolution
51  * and for real-time interrupts, These use a corresponding RTIMER_SECOND.
52  *
53  * \note These timers do not necessarily have a common divisor or are phase locked.
54  * One may be crystal controlled and the other may not. Low power operation
55  * or sleep will often use one for wake and disable the other, then give
56  * it a tick correction after wakeup.
57  *
58  * \note The clock library need in many cases not be used
59  * directly. Rather, the \ref timer "timer library", \ref etimer
60  * "event timers", or \ref rtimer "rtimer library" should be used.
61  *
62  * \sa \ref timer "Timer library"
63  * \sa \ref etimer "Event timers"
64  * \sa \ref rtimer "Realtime library"
