There are two possibilities:

  1. The system is non-POSIX compliant, so unistd.h and hence sysconf() can't tell us the clock tick speed. At this point, we have to resort to using the user-settable CLOCK_RESOLUTION definition to get the right speed
  2. The system is POSIX-compliant. unistd.h gives us sysconf(), which tells us the clock rate.
