84<dt><em>Description</em>:</dt>
85<dd><p>Returns the number of clock ticks since the start of the process, based
86on the function <code>clock(3)</code> in the C standard library.
87</p>
88<p>This intrinsic is not fully portable, such as to systems with 32-bit
89<code>INTEGER</code> types but supporting times wider than 32 bits. Therefore,
90the values returned by this intrinsic might be, or become, negative, or
91numerically less than previous values, during a single run of the
92compiled program.

108<dd><p>The return value is a scalar of type <code>INTEGER(4)</code>, equal to the
109number of clock ticks since the start of the process, or <code>-1</code> if
110the system does not support <code>clock(3)</code>.
