Public Member Functions
void	start ()
	read current time, all further time measurements will be in relation to this time
	Clock ()
	calls start()
	~Clock ()
	nothing particular
void	set_offset (Microseconds offs)
	allows to specify an offset, that will furtheron be added to all time measurements
Microseconds	time () const
	return time elapsed since last call to start() in Microseconds (possibly adding an optional offset)
Microseconds	wall_time () const
	returns the Microseconds passed on the wall clock sind initialization
void	elapsed_time (std::ostream &out) const
	call time() and print the result in format "hh:mm:ss", togehter with current date and time, to out

Private Attributes
Microseconds	t_start
	user time value on intialzation
Microseconds	offset
	use specified offset
Microseconds	wall_start
	wall clock time on initilazation
long	l_start
	if not unix, use long values instead

Friends
std::ostream &	operator<< (std::ostream &out, const Clock &cl)
	call cl.time() and print the result in format "hh:mm:ss" to out

Detailed Description

allows measuring time difference to its initialization time in Microseconds

the clock is initiliazed by calling start() (this also happens automatically at construction) and returns, at each call to time(), the time passed since the last call to start() in Microseconds (optionally plus a given offset specified by set_offset() ). The routine elapsed_time() prints the current time difference together with current date and time to an output strean.
