* [CLOCK_UPTIME_PRECISE] FreeBSD 8.1
* [CLOCK_SECOND] FreeBSD 8.1

- * Also, several symbols are accepted as +clock_id+.
- * They may be used as emulation for clock_gettime().
+ * Also, several other symbols are accepted as +clock_id+.
+ * There are emulations for clock_gettime().
+ *
* For example, Process::CLOCK_REALTIME is defined as
* +:POSIX_GETTIMEOFDAY_CLOCK_REALTIME+ when clock_gettime() is not available.
*
+ * Emulations for +:CLOCK_REALTIME+:
* [:POSIX_GETTIMEOFDAY_CLOCK_REALTIME] Use gettimeofday(). The precision is 1 micro second.
* [:POSIX_TIME_CLOCK_REALTIME] Use time(). The precision is 1 second.
*
+ * Emulations for +:CLOCK_MONOTONIC+:
+ * [:MACH_ABSOLUTE_TIME_CLOCK_MONOTONIC] Use mach_absolute_time(), available on Darwin.
+ * The precision is CPU dependent.
+ *
* If the given +clock_id+ is not supported, Errno::EINVAL is raised.
*
* +unit+ specifies a type of the return value.
