/**
* \defgroup clock Clock library
*
* The clock library is the interface between Contiki and the platform
* specific clock functionality. The clock library performs a single
* function: measuring time. Additionally, the clock library provides
* a macro, CLOCK_SECOND, which corresponds to one second of system
* time.
*
* \note The clock library need in many cases not be used
* directly. Rather, the \ref timer "timer library" or the \ref etimer
* "event timers" should be used.
*
* \sa \ref timer "Timer library"
* \sa \ref etimer "Event timers"
