- monotonic
- ~~~~~~~~~
- This module provides a ``monotonic()`` function which returns the
- value (in fractional seconds) of a clock which never goes backwards.
- On Python 3.3 or newer, ``monotonic`` will be an alias of
- ``time.monotonic`` from the standard library. On older versions,
- it will fall back to an equivalent implementation:
- +------------------+----------------------------------------+
- | Linux, BSD, AIX | ``clock_gettime(3)`` |
- +------------------+----------------------------------------+
- | Windows | ``GetTickCount`` or ``GetTickCount64`` |
- +------------------+----------------------------------------+
- | OS X | ``mach_absolute_time`` |
- +------------------+----------------------------------------+
- If no suitable implementation exists for the current platform,
- attempting to import this module (or to import from it) will
- cause a ``RuntimeError`` exception to be raised.
