** File: prinrval.h
** 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).

** DEFINES: PR_INTERVAL_MIN
** PR_INTERVAL_MAX
** DESCRIPTION:
** These two constants define the range (in ticks / second) of the
** platform dependent type, PRIntervalTime. These constants bound both
** the period and the resolution of a PRIntervalTime.

** DESCRIPTION:
** Two reserved constants are defined in the PRIntervalTime namespace.
** They are used to indicate that the process should wait no time (return
** immediately) or wait forever (never time out), respectively.

** FUNCTION: PR_IntervalNow
** DESCRIPTION:
** Return the value of NSPR's free running interval timer. That timer
** can be used to establish epochs and determine intervals (be computing
** the difference between two times).
** INPUTS: void
** OUTPUTS: void
** RETURN: PRIntervalTime
**
** SIDE EFFECTS:
** None
** RESTRICTIONS:
** The units of PRIntervalTime are platform dependent. They are chosen
** such that they are appropriate for the host OS, yet provide sufficient
** resolution and period to be useful to clients.
