clock - Current time as date vector
Syntax
c = clock
Description
c = clock returns a 6-element
date vector containing the current date and time in decimal form:
[year month day hour minute seconds]
The sixth element of the date vector output (seconds) is accurate
to several digits beyond the decimal point. The statement fix(clock) rounds
to integer display format.
Remarks
When timing the duration of an event, use the tic and toc functions
instead of clock or etime.
These latter two functions are based on the system time which can
be adjusted periodically by the operating system and thus might not
be reliable in time comparison operations.
