monotonic
~~~~~~~~~
This module provides a ``monotonic()`` function which returns the
value (in fractional seconds) of a clock which never goes backwards.
On Python 3.3 or newer, ``monotonic`` will be an alias of
``time.monotonic`` from the standard library. On older versions,
it will fall back to an equivalent implementation:
+-------------+--------------------+
| Linux, BSD | clock_gettime(3) |
+-------------+--------------------+
| Windows | GetTickCount64 |
+-------------+--------------------+
| OS X | mach_absolute_time |
+-------------+--------------------+
If no suitable implementation exists for the current platform,
attempting to import this module (or to import from it) will
cause a RuntimeError exception to be raised.
