+** Description: API to interval timing functions of NSPR.
+**
+**
+** NSPR provides interval times that are independent of network time
+** of day values. Interval times are (in theory) accurate regardless
+** of host processing requirements and also very cheap to acquire. It
+** is expected that getting an interval time while in a synchronized
+** function (holding one's lock).
