MClock Intrinsic

MClock()

MClock: INTEGER(KIND=1) function.

Intrinsic groups: unix.

Description:

Returns the number of clock ticks since the start of the process. Supported on systems with clock(3) (q.v.).

This intrinsic is not fully portable, such as to systems with 32-bit INTEGER types but supporting times wider than 32 bits. See section MClock8 Intrinsic, for information on a similar intrinsic that might be portable to more GNU Fortran implementations, though to fewer Fortran compilers.

If the system does not support clock(3), -1 is returned.
