24 * All timing functions in LibUCW are based on signed 64-bit timestamps
25 * with millisecond precision (the <<basics:type_timestamp_t,`timestamp_t`>> type), which measure
26 * time from an unspecified moment in the past. Depending on the compile-time
27 * settings, that moment can be the traditional UNIX epoch, or for example
28 * system boot if POSIX monotonic clock is used.

38 * A user type for parsing of time intervals in configuration files.
39 * It is specified as fractional seconds and internally converted to
40 * a <<basics:type_timestamp_t,`timestamp_t`>>. When conversion of
41 * a non-zero value yields zero, an error is raised.

48 * A timer is a very simple construct for measuring execution time.
49 * It can be initialized and then read multiple times. Each read returns
50 * the number of milliseconds elapsed since the previous read or initialization.
