ABSTRACT

SUN implementation of the TMR facility. The implementation is based of SUN's high resolution timer library.

USAGE

See the documentation for the generic TMR facility.

TMR_tick

The abstract type of a TMR tick.

This is the abstract type returned by TMR_GET(). Since it varies on a machine-by-machine basis, no direct manipulation of this data type should be attempted. Use only the TMR routines and macros with this type.
