/**
* \defgroup clock Clock interface
*
* The clock interface is the interface between the \ref timer "timer library"
* and the platform specific clock functionality. The clock
* interface must be implemented for each platform that uses the \ref
* timer "timer library".
*
* The clock interface does only one this: it measures time. The clock
* interface provides a macro, CLOCK_SECOND, which corresponds to one
* second of system time.
