Name

fasttime_getticks - get the CPU tick count

Synopsis

#include <fasttime.h>

uint64_t fasttime_getticks();

Description

Provides applications with a platform-independent means of accessing the tick register directly. The tick register typically updates at the same frequency of the CPU core. Applications should not attempt to use this value to determine real time values; see fasttime_gettimeofday(3) for this.

Thread Safety

fasttime_getticks is thread-safe.
