Imports

use { monotonic-clock, wall-clock } from wasi-clocks

default-monotonic-clock

/// Return a default monotonic clock, suitable for general-purpose application
/// needs.
///
/// This allocates a new handle, so applications with frequent need of a clock
/// handle should call this function once and reuse the handle instead of
/// calling this function each time.
default-monotonic-clock: monotonic-clock

default-wall-clock

/// Return a default wall clock, suitable for general-purpose application
/// needs.
///
/// This allocates a new handle, so applications with frequent need of a clock
