On older versions,\nit will fall back to an equivalent implementation:\n\n+-------------+----------------------------------------+\n| Linux, BSD  | ``clockgettime(3)``                   |\n+-------------+----------------------------------------+\n| Windows     | ``GetTickCount`` or ``GetTickCount64`` |\n+-------------+----------------------------------------+\n| OS X        | ``machabsolutetime``                 |\n+-------------+----------------------------------------+\n\nIf no suitable implementation exists for the current platform,\nattempting to import this module (or to import from it) will\ncause a ``RuntimeError`` exception to be raised.\n\n\nCopyright 2014, 2015, 2016 Ori Livneh <ori@wikimedia.org>\n\nLicensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the \"License\");\nyou may not use this file except in compliance with the License.\nYou may obtain a copy of the License at\n\nhttp://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0\n\nUnless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, software\ndistributed under the License is distributed on an \"AS IS\" BASIS,\nWITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied.\nSee the License for the specific language governing permissions and\nlimitations under the License.\n\n### FUNCTIONS\n\n#### monotonic\n\nmonotonic() -> float\n\nMonotonic clock, cannot go backward.\n\n### DATA\n\nall = ('monotonic',)\n\n### FILE\n\n/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/monotonic.py\n\n"
