+Description:

+Description:

+Date:		September 2010
+Contact:	Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com>
+Description:
+		This file contains the clock ID (a non-negative
+		integer) of the named time source registered with the
+		POSIX clock subsystem. This value may be passed as the
+		first argument to the POSIX clock and timer system
+		calls. See man CLOCK_GETRES(2) and TIMER_CREATE(2).
