Package: glibc-doc
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-18
Severity: normal

In the "CPU Time" node, CLK_TCK is described as an obsolete name for
CLOCKS_PER_SEC.  But in Debian (i386 at least) the two are not the
same, eg.

  #include <time.h>
  main () { printf ("%d %d\n", CLK_TCK, CLOCKS_PER_SEC); }

shows 100 and 1000000.

Perhaps CLK_TCK should move to the "Processor Time" node, since if I'm
not mistaken times() is in units of CLK_TCK per second.
