** Description:	API to interval timing functions of NSPR.
**
**
** NSPR provides interval times that are independent of network time
** of day values. Interval times are (in theory) accurate regardless
** of host processing requirements and also very cheap to acquire. It
** is expected that getting an interval time while in a synchronized
** function (holding one's lock).

/***********************************************************************
** DEFINES:     PR_INTERVAL_MIN
**              PR_INTERVAL_MAX
** DESCRIPTION:
**  These two constants define the range (in ticks / second) of the
**  platform dependent type, PRIntervalTime. These constants bound both
**  the period and the resolution of a PRIntervalTime.

** DESCRIPTION:
**  Two reserved constants are defined in the PRIntervalTime namespace.
**  They are used to indicate that the process should wait no time (return
**  immediately) or wait forever (never time out), respectively.
**  Note: PR_INTERVAL_NO_TIMEOUT passed as input to PR_Connect is 
**  interpreted as use the OS's connect timeout.

** FUNCTION:    PR_IntervalNow
