FUNCTION::CPU_CLOCK_(3stap)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is function::cpu_clock_ms — it gives you the number of milliseconds on the given cpu's clock. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

cpu_clock_ms:long(cpu:long)

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• cpu — which processor's clock we're reading, babes. you gotta tell it which cpu, it's not gonna guess. 👑

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so like, this function hands you back the number of milliseconds on the clock of the cpu you asked about. 🕐✨

and here's the tea, bestie: comparing on the same cpu, it's always monotonic — meaning it never goes backwards, it's giving stable, it's giving reliable, we love that for you. 💖

BUT. 😭 and this is the important part. between different cpus, you might get some drift — within about a jiffy, so it's tiny, but it's there. so if you're comparing timestamps across cpus, just know the clocks aren't gonna match up perfectly. no cap. 🫶
