NAME:  CPUclock - measures the CPU time in C++ programs

SYNTAX: @CPUclock


KEYWORDS:

  CPU time, clock


DESCRIPTION:

  One can get the user time in absolute seconds, or the length of intervals
  can be measured (in seconds).

  "getTime" - returns time in seconds since January 1, 1970

  "initTime" - start measuring the length of an interval (typically called
               prior to the computational job to be measured). In fact,
               "initTime" is just a call to "getInterval" - the function
               was for making programs easier to read.

  "getInterval" - returns the length of the user time interval (in seconds)
                between the present call to getInterval and the last call
                to initTime or to getInterval

  "getInterval2" - as "getInterval", but the user time plus the system time
                   is returned.

  "report" - returns a string ("String") containing a message (f.ex. where in
             the program the "report" function was called) and the user and
             system time since last call to "initTime" or "getInterval"
             (or "getInterval2").
