/**
 * \defgroup clock Clock library
 *
 * The clock library is the interface between Contiki and the platform
 * specific clock functionality. The clock library performs a single
 * function: measuring time. Additionally, the clock library provides
 * a macro, CLOCK_SECOND, which corresponds to one second of system
 * time.
 *
 * \note The clock library need in many cases not be used
 * directly. Rather, the \ref timer "timer library" or the \ref etimer
 * "event timers" should be used.
 *
