 * Name:  clock
 *
 * Description:
 *   The clock() function returns the implementation's best approximation to
 *   the processor time used by the process since the beginning of a
 *   implementation-defined era related only to the process invocation.
 *
 *   To determine the time in seconds, the value returned by clock() should
 *   be divided by the value of the macro CLOCKS_PER_SEC as defined in
 *   <time.h>.
 *
 *   NOTE:  The current implementation does NOT return the processor time
 *   used by the process.  NuttX currently does not keep any record of
 *   processing time.  Instead the elapsed time since power up is returned.
 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *   None
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   The system time in units of clock ticks is returned.  If the processor
 *   time used is not available or its value cannot be represented, the
 *   function will return the value (clock_t)-1.
 *
