PR_TicksPerSecond ================= Returns the number of ticks per second currently used to determine the value of :ref:`PRIntervalTime`. Syntax ------ .. code:: #include <prinrval.h> PRUint32 PR_TicksPerSecond(void); Returns ~~~~~~~ An integer between 1000 and 100000 indicating the number of ticks per second counted by :ref:`PRIntervalTime` on the current platform. This value is platform-dependent and does not change after NSPR is initialized. Description ----------- The value returned by ``PR_TicksPerSecond()`` lies between ``PR_INTERVAL_MIN`` and ``PR_INTERVAL_MAX``. The relationship between a :ref:`PRIntervalTime` tick and standard clock units is platform-dependent. PR\_\ ``PR_TicksPerSecond()`` allows you to discover exactly what that relationship is. Seconds per tick (the inverse of PR\_\ ``PR_TicksPerSecond()``) is always between 10 microseconds and 1 millisecond.
