FUNCTION::CPU_CLOCK_(3stap)

💅 NAME 💅

function::cpu_clock_us — the number of microseconds chillin' on a given cpu's clock, bestie ⏱️✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

cpu_clock_us:long(cpu:long)

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• cpu — which processor's clock we're reading, like which bestie's phone we're checking the time on 📱👀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this function hands you back the number of microseconds on the given cpu's clock. that's it, that's the whole vibe 💖

and here's the tea: it's always monotonic when you're comparing on the same cpu, so no messy time-travel nonsense there, periodt 👑 but between cpus? yeah there might be some drift — like, within about a jiffy. not a lot, but it's there, ngl 🙈

so if you're comparing across cpus, lowkey expect a lil wobble. same cpu? flawless, no notes 💅
