Method getClockTime

src/openms/source/SYSTEM/StopWatch.cpp:138–153

getClockTime returns the current amount of real (clock) time accumulated by this stop_watch. If the stop_watch is stopped, this is just the total accumulated time. If the stop_watch is running, this is the accumulated time + the time since the stop_watch was last started.

  //the total accumulated time.  If the stop_watch is running, this is the
  //accumulated time + the time since the stop_watch was last started.
