     GETHZ(S)                  UNIX System V                  GETHZ(S)



     Name
          gethz - return the frequency of the system clock in ticks
          per second

     Syntax
          int gethz() ;

     Description
          gethz returns the frequency of the system clock in ticks per
          second.

     See Also
          environ(M)

     Warning
          In the current implementation, gethz searches the
          environment list (see environ(M)) for a string of the form
          HZ=val , and returns val.

          If HZ is not defined in the environment, or if HZ cannot be
          interpreted as a numeric integer, gethz returns 0.

     Note
          The implementation of gethz may change.
